What types of financial aid does Vanderbilt award?
Vanderbilt will meet 100% of demonstrated financial need with a combination of grants, scholarships and an earnings from work expectation. Under certain conditions and based upon individual family circumstances or desires, loans from federal and/or other sources may ultimately be made available to students upon their request to replace any earnings expectation in their award or to replace some portion of their family’s expected contribution. • What is “work study?” The Federal Work–Study Program (FWSP) provides part–time employment opportunities for students with financial need. FWSP awards are distributed as bi–weekly or monthly paychecks according to the hours worked and hourly wage. Undergraduate students may work up to 20 hours per week. A job fair is held every fall for students who have FWSP as part of their financial aid package to help them find a job on campus.
