Frequently Asked Questions
Applying for Vermont scholarships might be more simple than you think. There are several ways students can apply for scholarships. Students should choose the best method for them, or try as many strategies as they like to find relevant scholarships. High school students, for example, can reach out to their guidance office to find scholarship opportunities specific to their school or region. College students can get similar assistance from their financial aid office. In both cases, the instructions for applying for these scholarships will likely depend on your specific school. The financial aid officers or guidance counselors should be able to walk students through the steps for applying to the scholarships they suggest. Typically, the application will consist of a form detailing the student's personal information, and a short essay if required.
High school students and college students alike can apply at any time during their academic careers. While scholarships are most often marketed towards high school seniors looking to go to college, scholarships are actually available to students of all grade levels. Recent college graduates who have student loans are even eligible to apply for certain scholarships!
First, choose some scholarships that are relevant to your interests and needs. Once you have found the scholarships you want to apply for, the application process will depend on where you found those scholarships. Most scholarships will come with clear instructions on how to apply. In many cases, applicants will need to fill out an online form, or mail a form detailing their personal information to the donor.
