Vanderbilt University–New York City Costs and Financial Aid
Tuition and Billing
When participating in the Vanderbilt University–New York City Undergraduate Semester Program, students are charged the regular Vanderbilt tuition rate for one semester plus the cost of housing, student services and insurance. Students are not charged for a meal plan, as meals are not included in the program. All direct costs will be billed by Vanderbilt's Office of Student Accounts through the YES Billing Portal. More details on the program cost are available on the Student Accounts Fees and Charges page. Navigate to the relevant Academic Year and select the Undergraduate Students link.
Financial Aid
During the academic year, Vanderbilt University meets students’ full demonstrated financial need (as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships) regardless of whether they study in Nashville or on an approved academic program away from Nashville. Existing aid and scholarships may be adjusted to meet the costs of studying in New York City. Students are encouraged to discuss their plans to participate in Vanderbilt University–New York City with their financial aid officer. Email the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.
