Các trường đại học càng ngày càng có xu hướng xuất hiện những kiểu full-scholarship đặt tên dưới dạng Award,Program, Scholars chứ không còn chỉ là Need-based, Merit-based hoặc Financial Aid nữa roài. Vì vậy dần dần, ngoài common application form ra, chúng ta nên lục lọi xem có thể đồng nát được cái học bổng nào mới được thành lập hay không để có lợi thế hơn bọn khác. Ví dụ như mùa tuyển sinh năm nay(2007-2008) có cái "Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholars" này mà theo thông tin mình biết được từ Collegeconfidential là không một học sinh Việt Nam nào apply cả do nó mới được thành lập năm 2007, phí quá. Post lên đây để mong rằng năm tới có Vietnamese applicants thành công.
Mission and History
The Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship Program began in 2007 with a gift from the Sartain Lanier Family Foundation of Atlanta designated to unite and strengthen Vanderbilt’s existing full-tuition academic merit scholarships under the aegis of a coordinated and cohesive scholarship program.
The program honors the vision of Vanderbilt University’s founder, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, who endowed the university in 1873 with a gift of $1 million to “contribute to strengthening the ties which should exist between all sections of our common country.” Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholars continue that mission, bringing intellectual and community leadership to the Vanderbilt campus where they forge interdisciplinary and interpersonal connections that unite people and ideas across the world.
Scholarship Benefits
Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholars receive full tuition, plus a stipend to be used towards a summer study abroad or research experience following sophomore or junior year. Scholarships are renewed each year as long as the recipient maintains at least a 3.0 GPA. Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholars participate in several special programs coordinated by the Office of Undergraduate Honor Scholarships throughout the academic year.
Application and Selection
To be considered for the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship, students must submit Parts I and IIA of the Vanderbilt Scholarship Application postmarked by January 3, 2008. Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholars are selected on the basis of academic achievement, leadership and contribution outside the classroom, and intellectual promise. In evaluating candidates, the selection committee will review the entire application for freshman admission along with the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship application. Many of the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarships also require an on-campus interview with faculty

Thằng nào khôn thì đọc xong cái này năm nay lẳng lặng mà apply nhá, Vanderbilt là trường tuyệt vời đấy, ngành Toán của nó mạnh không thua gì Harvard,MIT và UCBerk đâu.
