Experience Vanderbilt (EV) is a student-led, university-supported initiative that provides undergraduate students who qualify for need-based financial aid with funding for extracurricular activities that have fees.

These extracurricular activities include student organizations, club sports, arts and cultural experiences, service trips, outdoor recreation trips, Greek Life, or any official Vanderbilt student organization that has fees associated with participation. EV awarded $350,000 for the 2020-21 academic year through a confidential application available on AnchorLink and a random selection process. Applicants are eligible to receive up to $500 for one of their three ranked experiences. Students also have the opportunity to apply for the EV Event Pass of $75, which can be used to purchase tickets for on-campus events. 

2022-23 academic year applications will REOPEN Monday, October 17th and close Friday, November 4th at 11:59pm CST. Here is the link: https://anchorlink.vanderbilt.edu/submitter/form/start/560999
