Bruin-question about fully financed schools.

[PYSCHO]

Vandy is so loaded, it's nuts. I interviewed for a faculty position there before starting at UT, and one of the benefits they offered is to pay the equivalent of 70% of Vanderbilt's tuition costs for children of faculty to attend ANY accredited college (not that many of them cost more than Vandy). Never heard of anything like that.

Friend of mines momworkrd at the University of Charleston in Wv. Private school about 38000 a semester out of state and her family/kids lived and paid for books only and cost 75.00 a yr. And could go as long as they wanted as long as grades were good.

My daughter is a nurse at Vanderbilt. They will pay for any advanced medical degrees she wants to pursue.

That’s pretty great, but I hope she’s wearing orange while she earns those degrees!

She knows there is no reason to ever wear her scrubs in my house.

I guess if they’re called “scrubs” then it’s appropriate that they’re black and gold.

They’d have to be fairly “poor” (I don’t mean that to be derogatory) to be in full scholarship I would assume? The way I understand it, Opportunity Vanderbilt says “you should be able to afford $10k based on your financial situation, therefore you’re on the hook for that and we make up the difference between the $70k cost of attendance and $10k you can pay”.

I don’t know the exact calculations of the income the Vandy scholarship fund based on income doesn’t exclude one from other income sources (academic, minority or athletic ) I would say a family of 4 would need a nice income not to qualify. Regardless of the numbers, Vandys 11.7 goes a lot further than most others schools, especially public schools.
