Vermont Micro Grant

The Vermont Micro Grant, administered by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, is designed to support students who are at risk of leaving their postsecondary education due to minor, unexpected financial emergencies during the academic year. This program helps cover these small, unforeseen expenses so students can continue their studies.

To receive this assistance, students must be nominated by their Vermont school. The nominating institution determines eligibility based on specific criteria provided directly to the school at the start of the academic year. Because this program relies on institutional nomination rather than a direct student application, applicants should contact their school's financial aid office to discuss eligibility and how the grant coordinates with other financial aid forms, such as the FAFSA or state grant applications.
