Thanks for the helpful response!
Would you mind sharing the number of students who applied for the CV Scholarship last year, versus how many actually received it?
Thanks!

A total of 3,431 students applied for the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship last year (entering Class of 2014). We awarded 151 Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarships in that same year. Be aware, not all of those offered the award chose to enroll at Vanderbilt. Also, the number of awards offered will fluctuate from year to year because of funding availability.

Of the awards offered to prospective students who did not enroll, was any of the award money awarded to students who did enroll and perhaps were not offered a scholarship before?

Kim, We make the awards with the knowledge that some of the students will not enroll. Therefore, there is only one round of scholarship offers.

How many people from the class of 2014 applied for the Chancellor’s Scholarship and how many actually received it?
Thanks!

I’m looking into that for you. I’ll get you the answer as soon as I can.

Joe- We do not publish the number of individuals who applied for the Chancellor’s scholarship, but we can tell you that we offered the scholarship to 40 students for the entering class this fall.

How many prospective students applied for the Ingram Scholarship last year (High
School class of 2013), versus how many actually received it?

Hi Madison. While I don’t have the specific info you are looking for, you should take a look at this post by Brent Tener, Director of Undergraduate Scholarships. It will give you a good overview of the number of applications versus the number of awards. Thanks for your interest.

Hi! It was mentioned above that 25% of the class usually scores above 1540 and 34 on the SAT and ACT, accordingly. Can you tell me if students scoring below those thresholds, but graduating with a very high GPA and class rank (along with leadership, etc) are considered…or do the numbers above rule them out?

Hi Chris, thanks for your question. First, we do not use grade or test score cut offs – we consider the whole application. Second, this post is several years old, so you shouldn’t put too much weight on these specific numbers. For more current info, check out our profile at https://admissions2025.vanderbilt.edu/profile/ And for more perspective on the test score info we report please see this blog post https://admissions2025.vanderbilt.edu/vandybloggers/2015/09/what-is-the-middle-50/ Thanks!
