Next Generation Scholarship ($3,000)

2008-2009 Terms and Conditions

The Next Generation Scholarship is an academic merit scholarship awarded to many of Vermont’s strongest students enrolling at the University of Vermont who demonstrate a financial need. The scholarship fund was established by funding made possible by the Next Generation Initiative for students entering the University in the Fall 2008. This scholarship offer is only valid at the University of Vermont, and is non-transferable to other institutions.

Renewal Eligibility

This scholarship is a revocable award from the University. In order to retain your scholarship, you must remain a full-time student (defined as enrolling in a minimum of twelve credits per semester), maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0, evaluated on a semester basis, and continue to demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA. Students who fail to maintain the minimum grade point average will be afforded a one-semester probationary period, after which the scholarship will be withdrawn if a 3.0 cumulative average has not been achieved. Once withdrawn, this scholarship will not be reinstated in the future.

Length of Scholarship

This scholarship is renewable for the three subsequent years (a total of eight semesters).
