Thanks to the State of Vermont and philanthropic donors, there is now more aid than ever before to help Vermonters reach their goals. Millions of dollars in aid are on the table!  MyFutureVT, Vermont’s free online hub for career and education resources, has a newly complied list of the many special financial aid programs available to Vermonters pursuing education and training in the 2022-2023 school year. Those interested in learning more about these programs can visit MyFutureVT.org/free-money. Advance Vermont will update the page as information changes and additional programs are announced.

DO YOU NEED HELP INTERPRETING FINANCIAL  AID PACKAGE INFORMATION?  With financial aid packages arriving from schools in the form of award letters, parents and students are starting to look at real numbers in terms of the cost of college. There are lots of different types of aid and loans. The information can be confusing and a bit overwhelming. We have added some resources to the School Counseling web page to help families as they sort through their award letters to get to the ‘bottom line’. To access a comparison tool created by VSAC, click here; this link opens into an excel sheet/google sheet - you will need to make a copy of it if you wish to use this tool.  To view another VSAC tool as a resource for answers to questions regarding financial aid and interpreting award letters click here
