<p>I am a Lanier Scholarship winner, which pays for full tuition. Does anyone here know if it's likely that I will get some more money in merit-based scholarships to help with the 15K or so for room and board and other fees?</p>
<p>if you're national merit you'll get 2k more.</p>
<p>if you have financial need, it will be based on the full cost (45k) so you could still get need-based loans/grants to help cover the rest if you demonstrate that you need it.</p>
<p>dont be greedy man - 15k to go to vandy is a steal.</p>
<p>Well, it's really not being greedy, 15K is still a lot of money.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt does not give out room and board merit-based scholarships...only by financial need can you be granted this money from Vandy. You can try accumulating outside scholarships, however, to pay for room & board.</p>
<p>Yeah I'd say that's greedy. 15k is a lot more than most of us are paying.</p>
<p>He's not greedy. My parents wouldn't let me attend Vandy (or anywhere for that matter) if it costed $15k. </p>
<p>It really depends on what financial situation you are in.</p>
