The Vermont Treasurer’s Office has announced the distribution of $1.7 million in scholarship funds to help Vermonters pursue higher education. This funding comes from the state’s College Savings Program, which aims to make college accessible for all eligible residents.

“We are thrilled to award these scholarships to deserving Vermonters,” said Treasurer Beth Pearce. “Investing in our young people is investing in the future of Vermont. These funds will help alleviate the financial burden of college and allow students to focus on their academic goals.”

The scholarships are available to students attending Vermont colleges and universities, as well as out-of-state institutions. Awards vary based on individual need and program requirements. Some recipients will receive full tuition coverage, while others will benefit from partial financial support.

“This scholarship is a game-changer for me,” said Sarah, a student at the University of Vermont. “It allows me to focus on my studies without the constant stress of financial worries. I am so grateful for this opportunity.”

The Treasurer’s Office encourages all eligible Vermonters to explore the various scholarship programs available through the College Savings Program. Applications are typically open throughout the year, and prospective recipients can find more information on the Treasurer’s Office website.

This initiative underscores the state’s commitment to supporting higher education access and affordability. By providing financial assistance, the Treasurer’s Office is empowering Vermonters to pursue their dreams and contribute to the state’s economic and social development.
