The Governor Phil Hoff Vermont Honor Scholarship

The Governor Phil Hoff Vermont Honor Scholarship is a merit-based program administered by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation. This scholarship is designed to recognize and support outstanding high school seniors in Vermont as they transition to higher education. To be considered for this award, students cannot apply directly on their own; instead, the program requires a formal nomination by the student's high school or technical center.

The scholarship funds help cover the costs of attending an eligible postsecondary institution. Because this program is managed alongside Vermont's broader state financial aid system, students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and the Vermont state grant application to establish their overall financial aid profile. This coordination ensures that the scholarship works in tandem with other state and federal assistance. For information regarding current application and nomination timelines, see the official page for current dates.
