UVM awards scholarships based on a variety of factors, including academic achievement, leadership, geographic location, and field of study. Many of these scholarships have the opportunity to be renewed (based on eligibility) for each of your academic years.

Please note: UVM also awards need-based "gift aid" to students who qualify based on financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Gift aid is aid that does not need to be repaid. We encourage students to complete the FAFSA to be considered for all possible sources of aid.

If you are a prospective, first-time, undergraduate student, you are automatically considered for certain scholarships when applying for admission. Other scholarships for prospective students require a separate application.
