of the funds constituting Vanguard Scottsdale Funds,
hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of
and for the year ended August 31, 2023, in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we
considered the Funds' 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
Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over
financial reporting.

The management of the Funds 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 Funds' 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
Funds' 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 August 31, 2023.

This report is intended solely for the information and
use of the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Scottsdale
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.
