BRET Student Financials – Resources and FAQs for Department Administrators

Resources for VU and VUMC Administrators concerning Student Financials

We are here to help ensure all graduate students in the School of Medicine programs are administratively well supported throughout their training. By working cooperatively with others departments and staff across our institution, the BRET Financial team expects for all students to be financially supported (tuition, insurance, stipends, etc.) continuously during their training.

For questions regarding student payments (payroll or stipend payments), please email studentpay.bret@vanderbilt.edu.

For questions regarding student accounts (tuition, insurance, student service fees, etc.), please email studentaccounts.bret@vanderbilt.edu.
