Chancellor Joe B. Wyatt initiated the Chancellor's Scholars in 1985 to recognize students with outstanding leadership, strength of character, academic achievement, and a deep-seated commitment to fostering collaboration, belonging and connection among students from different backgrounds and perspectives. Chancellor's Scholars are expected to build upon these commitments through continued active engagement in academic and leadership opportunities at Vanderbilt. The program is funded with gifts from alumni, faculty, staff, students, corporations, and friends.

Chancellor's Scholars receive full tuition, plus a one-time summer stipend for an immersive experience following the sophomore or junior year. Vanderbilt will provide additional need-based financial aid to those Chancellor's Scholarship recipients whose demonstrated financial need exceeds the amount of full tuition. Scholarships are renewed each year as long as the recipient maintains at least a 3.0 GPA.
The Chancellor's Scholarship application is strongly encouraged; preference is given to those who apply. Applicants apply via MyAppVU after submitting the application for admission. Chancellor's Scholars are selected on the basis of depth of leadership, a commitment to fostering collaboration, belonging and connection among people who share differing perspectives, academic achievement, and strength of character. Strong candidates are intellectually curious and able to articulate their ideas clearly. In evaluating candidates, the selection committee reviews the Chancellor's Scholarship application along with the entire application for first year admission.
