## About this scholarship

The Vermont Grant is the state's need-based grant for residents, administered by VSAC. Unlike most state grants, it can be used at eligible colleges and training programs outside Vermont as well as in the state. Students must be accepted or enrolled, full time or part time, in an undergraduate degree or certificate program approved for federal student aid, and must not already hold a bachelor's degree. The exception is students in the University of Vermont's M.D. program or an accredited veterinary program. Award amounts depend on the student's financial situation, the cost of attendance at the chosen school and when the application arrives, since grants are made first-come, first-served while money lasts. For 2025-26, eligible students received between $1,000 and $15,350. A student can receive up to 10 semesters of full-time grants before a first bachelor's degree. Students who are not eligible to file the FAFSA may apply through the Vermont Grant Pathway or Advancement Grant Pathway applications.

## Who can apply

- Residents of: VT
- Education level: Undergraduate
- Citizenship: U.S. citizen, Eligible noncitizen, DACA or state Dream Act student
