Vermont scholarships and state aid
These are restricted to Vermont residents specifically. It's the kind of local award that's easy to miss because it's never on the big national scholarship sites.
Most scholarships on this site have no state restriction at all, so it's worth also browsing the full list regardless of where you live. Know of a local Vermont scholarship, through a school, Rotary club, or church, that isn't listed here? Let us know.

Vermont undergrads enrolled at least 12 credits a term can qualify for this need-based grant, worth anywhere from around $1,000 to over $15,000 a year depending on sector and eligibility, based on FAFSA-demonstrated need. Heads up: as of early 2026 new applications were on hold pending state funding, so check the current status before counting on it.
