Financial Aid

Higher education is an investment and at Vermont Tech, we believe the financial well-being of students is just as important as their education.  That’s why the Office of Financial Aid is committed to helping you explore a range of financial aid and planning options.

Vermont Tech is combining with Castleton University and Northern Vermont University on July 1, 2023 to become a single accredited institution. If you are seeking information for fall 2023 forward, please see Vermont State University for aid and scholarship information. Information on this page is intended for students through spring 2023.

Funding Options

There are a variety of ways to fund your education, including grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study jobs–we’ll explain your options and demystify the application process. We help our students maximize all of their available financial aid opportunities, it’s a service we are proud to provide.
