Selection and Eligibility
Important Note: The Coulter Scholars are primarily selected pre-matriculation through the Dartmouth admissions process, beginning with the Class of 2028. The Scholars Programs team admitted six scholars from the Class of 2026 through the campus application process in summer 2024 and an additional six scholars from the Class of 2027 in summer 2025, completing our cohort of upperclass scholars. We do not anticipate opening future application cycles.
To be eligible for the Coulter Scholars Program, students must meet the following criteria:
- Academic achievement and promise
- Commitment to research and experiential learning in STEM
- Leadership potential
