What matters to you most?

The Vermont Scholarship Fund wants to help you establish a scholarship fund that is consistent with the goals you want to accomplish. In doing so, we ask you to consider several questions relating to the eligibility, selection, and criteria, including:

• What types of students will be eligible to receive your scholarship(s): adult students returning to college, college students already enrolled, graduate students, graduating high school students, or all Vermont students?
  
  
• Is there a particular county or region in Vermont whose students you’d like to help?
  
  
• Would you like to limit your scholarship program to students seeking a particular degree or major? If yes, what subject(s)?
  
  
• Do your scholarship recipients need to be enrolled full-time?
  
  
• What attributes are important to you (academic achievement, minimum GPA; community involvement and/or service; education/work ethic; entrepreneurial skills, endeavors and/or achievements; financial need, etc.)? Can you rank these attributes in order of importance according to your values?
  
  
• Do you want your scholarship to be for one year only, or do you want the student to receive the award for additional years?

Our scholarships department has prepared a VSAC Scholarship Description Form (PDF 190KB)to help you articulate the details of yoru scholarship. And of course, a member of our staff will gladly help you complete the form!
