This initiative is about financial need – but what about merit scholarships that are only based on academics and credentials?
Vanderbilt attracts many of the best students in the country, and many of them have some level of financial need. In fact, just as the overall quality of our entering classes has increased dramatically, so too has the percentage of students with financial need. While merit scholarships will continue to be awarded, need-based funding sources provide Vanderbilt with the ability to enroll students with exceptional credentials and financial need. Information regarding merit scholarship opportunities at Vanderbilt can be found at www.vanderbilt.edu/scholarships.
