NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Metro Nashville Public Schools and Vanderbilt University have partnered to make attending Vanderbilt more accessible for prospective students.
On Wednesday, the university announced the Vanderbilt Nashville Scholars program.
The scholarships will cover the full cost of attending Vanderbilt for students whose families make less than $100,000 a year.
“This is why it is imperative for universities like Vanderbilt and everyone in the education system to make sure every student can see themselves in a college that matches their skills and aspirations.
The scholarships will cover tuition, fees, housing, and meals. The university will also provide $6,000 to students for summer internships.
The new scholarship will be available for students planning to enroll at Vanderbilt in 2025.
