Armed Services Scholarship

The Armed Services Scholarship, sponsored by the State of Vermont, is designed to provide tuition assistance for the families of military personnel. To qualify, an applicant must be the child, stepchild, or spouse of an eligible member of the Vermont National Guard, the United States active reserve, or the active armed services who died while serving on active or inactive duty. Recipients must also be enrolled in an approved certificate or degree program at a participating Vermont university, college, technical institute, or post-secondary institution.

To apply for this program, students must complete the Unified Scholarship Application and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Depending on individual circumstances, applicants may also need to submit additional documentation, such as a marriage certificate, a birth certificate, or a verification letter from the Adjutant General. Completed applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis.
