Outside Scholarships and Tuition Benefits

If you receive a scholarship or tuition benefit from somewhere other than Vassar, your financial aid will be adjusted to accommodate the amount of outside aid received. You must report any outside scholarships and/or tuition benefits to Vassar via the Outside Scholarship Survey Form.

We allow students to replace the “self-help” portions of their financial aid offer with outside scholarships/tuition benefits. Self-help aid includes the federal direct student loan, the work-study allowance, and the standard student contribution from summer earnings. If the total amount of your outside award(s) exceeds the self-help options, then the overage will reduce your Vassar Scholarship.
