International Students

Vanderbilt University will offer renewable need-based financial aid to a limited number of international first-year undergraduate applicants. International students not seeking need-based financial aid should be prepared to finance, either privately or through a sponsor, the full cost of their Vanderbilt education for all four years. A student requesting consideration for need-based financial aid is required to submit the College Board Financial Aid PROFILE showing their sources of financial support. At the time of submission, the only document we require is the PROFILE. We reserve the right to ask for additional documentation to verify information submitted on the PROFILE. Vanderbilt is need-aware for international citizens. Should an international citizen apply for financial assistance, the financial aid application and the amount of financial aid required may be a factor in a final admissions decision. Based upon an evaluation of academic qualities, financial need, and availability of resources, an international student may be considered for financial assistance.

The priority dates to submit the PROFILE application for international students can be found here.

International freshmen applicants are eligible to apply for all Vanderbilt merit-based scholarships offered at Vanderbilt. To be considered for merit-based scholarships, complete the appropriate applications online. Students should be aware that merit-based scholarships are awarded only to a select few of our most exceptional applicants each year.
