Dartmouth College

Equitable (formerly AXA Equitable and before that AXA) runs the Equitable Foundation, which offers the Equitable Excellence Scholarship program.

Multi-Year Award Recipients - $5,000 per year awards for 100 recipients, for a maximum of 4 years ($20,000 total).

One Time Award Recipients - $2,500 one time awards for 100 recipients. These funds are intended to help with immediate costs associated with college such as tuition, books or room and board.

Equitable Excellence Scholarship Deadline - The Equitable Excellence Scholarship program will be accepting applications in the fall, typically starting in October. We suggest you apply early because in prior years, only the first 10,000 applications were considered.

Other Benefits - In addition to the scholarships, recipients have the opportunity to participate in mentoring, networking and professional skill-building programs.
