Vanderbilt is very generous

National Merit finalists who do not receive an additional merit scholarship from Vanderbilt will receive a total of $5,000 per year in National Merit or Achievement scholarship from all sources (with Vanderbilt supplementing any smaller corporate or one-time National Merit Corporation awards).Students must designate Vanderbilt as their first choice school with the National Merit Corporation

Vanderbilt offers a limited number of merit-based scholarships in amounts varying from $8,000 per year up to full-tuition. The majority of these awards are based solely on academic achievement, but several have specific qualifications. Vanderbilt also awards scholarships designated for students residing in Houston, Texas, and selected counties in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

Vanderbilt had the third highest number of NM Scholars (260), behind only U of Chi (314) and Harvard (268). http://www.nationalmerit.org/annual_report.pdf at pp. 32-34.
