External Scholarships
Many private organizations offer financial assistance to students. For these external scholarships, we have gathered links that may be helpful in your scholarship search. To extend your research locally, more information may be obtained by contacting local civic, professional, religious and other community organizations. If you are a high school student, your guidance counselor may have a list available.
Merit-Based and Other Scholarships
Eligibility for merit aid (based on academic strength) for incoming, full-time undergraduate students is determined after you are accepted to the college. Merit scholarships are renewed annually provided the student is enrolled full-time and meets all academic standards; no application is required. Please note students may only receive one type of merit-based scholarship and they cannot be combined with full tuition waivers. For instance, students receiving a Val/Sal scholarship or a full tuition waiver cannot receive a Green Mountain Scholarship.
All high school seniors who are accepted in one of Vermont Tech’s degree programs will be considered for one of Vermont Tech’s merit scholarships and will be evaluated based on the specifying criteria. The primary focus will be on students who exhibit exceptional academics and engagement outside the classroom.
Out-of-State Scholarships
The Vermont Tech Presidential Award is a merit-based award specifically for out-of-state students. Additionally, students who are not residents of Vermont may be eligible the Regional Student Program (RSP), often referred to as NEBHE. Our Good Neighbor Policy also provides a discount to students living in specific neighboring counties outside Vermont. Please note students may only receive one type of regional scholarship. For instance, students eligible for an RSP/NEBHE discount scholarship are not eligible for the Presidential Award. More information on both RSP and the Good Neighbor Policy is available here.
