The King Scholar Leadership Program

The King Scholar Leadership Program seeks low-income students from developing nations who are interested in alleviating poverty in their home countries. At Dartmouth, King Leadership Scholars receive 4-year scholarships and extensive mentoring and leadership training. Upon graduation, they return home to tackle poverty issues, supported by Dartmouth’s alumni network.

All eligible international applicants to Dartmouth will be considered for the King Leadership Scholar program. There is no special application; instead, each applicant must complete The Common Application.  Learn more about applying to Dartmouth here.

Applicants to Dartmouth who are interested in the King Leadership Scholar program are also encouraged to send an additional recommendation from a mentor, teacher, adviser, community leader, friend or clergy member through the Recommend a Scholar portal.
