Awards are based on financial need, and amounts vary annually. The majority of financial aid for Vermont students is provided in the form of grants and loans from the federal government, VSAC, and the college you attend. Scholarships generally should be considered as supplements. VSAC publishes a booklet, Scholarships Available to Vermonters, that lists scholarships sponsored by private Vermont groups and awarded annually. Other Scholarships Hundreds of scholarships are available nationally to qualified students.
Competition is brisk, but millions of dollars are awarded annually.
You may use the software at our Resource Library. Numerous other Web sites offer scholarship search services. Eligibility is based on need, and the amount of the aid depends on the number of hours you work. Loans Most students and parents must take out loans to pay education costs, either for technical training or for college. When you need to borrow money for education you want to find the lowest cost loans and the best service to help you as you repay your loans for 10 years or more.
