Vanderbilt Scholarships offers merit-based scholarships every year to deserving candidates who exhibit remarkable achievement and intellectual promise. These students are among the top 1 percent of Vanderbilt’s first-year applicants, and the selection process is extremely difficult due to the small amount of merit scholarships offered.
As long as the winner maintains a sufficient academic record during their four years of undergraduate studies, Vanderbilt offers merit-based scholarships that are all renewable. A certain number of scholarships are given out by each of the four undergraduate schools in accordance with enrollment. Unless otherwise stated, financial need is not taken into consideration.
