Empower Dreams. Ignite Potential. Make History.
At Vanderbilt, we believe that nothing should stand between a student and the transformative power of a world-class education. Opportunity Vanderbilt is a bold commitment to our extraordinary students, creating a future where financial circumstances never limit their dreams.
This important initiative, fueled in part by generous donors, meets 100% of demonstrated financial need without loans, providing students the ability to graduate debt-free and focus on their ambitions and personal growth. In 2024, the program was expanded to provide a full-tuition scholarship for all households with income of $150K* or less.
Since its launch in 2009, more than 15,400 undergraduate students have received need-based support through Opportunity Vanderbilt.
