Eligible non-citizens and international students
For admissions and financial aid purposes, you are considered an international student if you do not meet the eligibility criteria to receive federal student financial assistance or are not classified as an eligible non-citizen. (Learn more in our Glossary of Financial Aid Terms under Citizen/Eligible Non-Citizen)
Eligible Non-Citizens
Eligible non-citizen students are eligible for Vanderbilt's need-based financial aid program in the same way as U.S. citizens. Vanderbilt is need-blind in the admissions process; your ability to pay is not part of the admissions decision.
International Students
ÎåÒ»²è¹Ý¶ù 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 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 offered at Vanderbilt. To be considered for merit-based scholarships, complete the appropriate applications .
