    Hi! This is a little off topic, but any idea of when EDII letters will be sent out? I know the website says February 15th, but in years past they have been sent out early…any chance of that happening again this year? Sorry, I’m just anxiously waiting for my admission decision:) Go ‘Dores!!!!

    We are still on target to send most scholarship decisions by Mid-March.

    Are both scholarship winners and the less fortunate notified, or are letters only sent to those receiving scholarships?

    All students who applied for scholarships will be informed of their decisions by mid-March.

    What a way to be awarded for a noble effort.  God rewards people who help the less fortunate.

    Have all merit scholarships been awarded and recipients notified?

    From Brent Tener, Associate Director of Student Financial Aid and Director of Undergraduate Scholarships:

    With the exception of the Fred Russell-Grantland Rice sports writing scholarship, scholarship decisions have been made and the recipients notified. Russell-Rice finalists have been notified by e-mail and will be notified of their status by April 4.

    Competition for our merit scholarship programs continues to be intense. Awards in one of our three signature programs (Cornelius Vanderbilt, Chancellor’s and Ingram) were made to fewer than 1% of our applicants for admission. Staff and faculty from the Vanderbilt community have spent countless hours reading and discussing scholarship applications and making difficult decisions regarding award recipients.

    We appreciate everyone’s interest in Vanderbilt and best of luck. Should you have any questions, feel free to e-mail the Financial Aid office.
