Does Vanderbilt offer National Merit and Achievement Scholarships?
Yes, Vanderbilt does provide scholarship assistance for students named National Merit or Achievement Finalists. Students must designate Vanderbilt as their first choice school with the National Merit Corporation by their final deadline to receive Vanderbilt’s National Merit or Achievement Scholarship. For those Finalists who also receive one of Vanderbilt’s merit scholarships, we guarantee an additional $2000 in National Merit or Achievement total scholarship per year from all sources (with Vanderbilt supplementing any smaller corporate or one-time National Merit Corporation awards). Those Finalists who do not receive an additional merit scholarship from Vanderbilt will receive a total of $5000 per year in National Merit or Achievement scholarship from all sources (with Vanderbilt supplementing any smaller corporate or one-time National Merit Corporation awards).
