Report of Independent
Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard STAR Funds
and Shareholders of
Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of Vanguard Total
International Stock Index Fund  (one of the funds
constituting Vanguard STAR Funds, hereafter
referred to as the "Fund") as of and for the year
ended October 31, 2022, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board  (United States) (PCAOB), we
considered the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting, including controls  over
safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing
our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our  opinion on the financial statements
and to comply with the requirements of Form N-
CEN, but not for the purpose  of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly,  we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Fund's internal control over financial reporting.
The management of the Fund is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over  financial reporting. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess  the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. A company's
internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the  preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles. A company's internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1)  pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and  dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only
in accordance with  authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding  prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a company's assets that could  have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect  misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that  controls may
become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the  policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A deficiency in internal control over financial
reporting exists when the design or operation of a
control does not  allow management or employees,
in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect  misstatements on a
timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or
a combination of deficiencies, in internal  control
over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the  company's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis.
Our consideration of the Fund's internal control
over financial reporting was for the limited
purpose described in  the first paragraph and
would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in
internal control over financial reporting  that
might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the PCAOB. However, we noted
no  deficiencies in the Fund's internal control
over financial reporting and its operation,
including controls over  safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be a material weakness as
defined above as of October 31, 2022.
This report is intended solely for the information
and use of the Board of Trustees of Vanguard
STAR Funds and  the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be and should
not be used by anyone other than  these specified
parties.
