The Divinity School and Vanderbilt University has a generous financial aid program based on both merit and need. Most students find that while tuition at Vanderbilt may be higher than at other theological schools, our average tuition award is also higher, making Vanderbilt a very affordable option.

Virtually every student receives financial aid. The average merit based award for MDiv and MTS covers 60% tuition, with the top awards including a substantial living stipend as well. For PhD students, awards are typically 100%. Students are able to cover any remaining costs for study and living with a combination of external scholarships, church assistance, low-interest loans, and on-campus employment.

Updated costs for the 2007-2008 academic year will be posted soon.
