Hey, I'm an out-of-state student considering attending the University of Vermont (UVM). Can anyone share the approximate tuition for an out-of-state student? Additionally, any tips on finding scholarships or aid opportunities to mitigate the cost?
The estimated tuition and fees for an out-of-state undergraduate student at the University of Vermont for the academic year 2024-25 are approximately $42,000. Remember that this figure only includes tuition and mandatory fees, not room and board, books, transportation, and personal expenses.
As for minimizing this cost, UVM offers several merit-based scholarships for out-of-state students. Some notable ones include the Green and Gold Scholars Award, UVM's most prestigious for out-of-state students, and the Trustee Scholarship, available for students demonstrating exceptional academic achievement. You'll automatically be considered for most of these scholarships when you apply for admission, so there are no separate application processes for the majority of them.
Also, you should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSATM) as soon as possible to see what kind of financial aid you qualify for on the federal level, such as Direct Loans or Pell Grants.
Further, consider searching for scholarships at local, state, or national levels outside of UVM. They could be offered by your local community organizations, corporations, or foundations. While you may face substantial competition, every little bit counts when it comes to making your education more affordable. Remember, scholarships aren't the only form of financial aid out there, so don't forget about grants and work-study opportunities too.
