802Opportunity

The 802Opportunity program, provided by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, is designed to help students access associate degree and certificate programs. This initiative is open to both new and returning Community College of Vermont students of any age. To qualify, applicants must have a family income of $100,000 or less and must not already hold a bachelor's degree.

The program helps cover educational costs at the Community College of Vermont, allowing eligible students to pursue flexible learning options, including day, evening, in-person, or online classes. To access this funding and other financial aid opportunities, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA serves as the primary starting point for state and federal financial aid programs, and students must submit this application for each year they are enrolled in school. For current deadlines and application dates, please see the official page.
