Enrolling and educating outstanding students. The University of Vermont is doing an excellent job of this, but we are determined to do even better. The University’s effort to attract and retain the very best students in Vermont and throughout the nation requires an increase in the amount of financial assistance we can offer qualified applicants. Currently, 84 percent of students attending private colleges receive financial aid, compared to only 60 percent of UVM undergraduates. Narrowing this gap will make the University of Vermont more competitive across the entire spectrum of American higher education and will help us augment the size of UVM’s student body while sustaining and building its quality. In addition to funding undergraduate scholarships, part of the $105 million we seek will support fellowships for graduate students, who are critical to our mission as a research university.
