Our second application deadline is approaching (January 15th). While completing applications, you are probably thinking about how you will finance your education. Although the relatively quick payoff period of an investment in business school at Vanderbilt is approximately 3 years, we understand that upfront expenses can sometimes be a burden. We are committed to helping students afford the Vanderbilt MBA program by offering a significant number of merit- based scholarships. Applicants should also consider personal savings, family funds, corporate or government sponsorship, low-interest federal loans, and other outside grants, loans and
scholarships.
In addition to general merit-based scholarships, some students may be selected for a named or endowed award. Please visit our website for an extensive list of these scholarships (click here). Below is information regarding new scholarships that will be offered this year. The purpose of these scholarships is to enhance the educational experience of all students by increasing diversity in the student body.
Diversity Scholarship - Women: We offer scholarships ranging from $18,000 to full tuition awarded based on the degree to which an individual demonstrates how he/she has supported the academic, personal or professional advancement of women. To be considered, you must submit an essay (no more than 250 words) with your first- or second-round application describing the one most relevant experience that qualifies you for this award. If you have already submitted your application, please submit this additional essay via email by January 15th.
Diversity Scholarship - Underrepresented Minorities: We offer scholarships ranging from $18,000 to full tuition awarded based on the degree to which an individual demonstrates how he/she has supported the academic, personal or professional advancement of underrepresented minorities (individuals who are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and are of African American, American Indian, Hispanic American, or Pacific Island American descent). To be considered, you must submit an essay (no more than 250 words) with your first- or second-round application describing the one most relevant experience that qualifies you for this award. If you have already submitted your application, please submit this additional essay via email by January 15th.
Diversity Scholarships - European Citizenship: We offer scholarships ranging from $18,000 to full tuition awarded to a citizen of a European country based on the degree to which the individual demonstrates how he/she can enhance the learning experience of other students in the Vanderbilt MBA program. This will be assessed during the evaluation of your application for admission to the program.
Diversity Scholarship - Latin American Citizenship: We offer scholarships ranging from $18,000 to full tuition awarded to a citizen of a Latin American country based on the degree to which the individual demonstrates how he/she can enhance the learning experience of other students in the Vanderbilt MBA program. This will be assessed during the evaluation of your application for admission to the program.
