Follow directions under “Application” — VSAC forms cannot be used to apply for other scholarships. 51 Notes The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) publishes this booklet to provide you with information about specific scholarships available to Vermont residents. Most of the scholarships listed are sponsored by private groups, including Vermont businesses, charitable or service organizations, veterans groups, and others.

The majority of financial aid available to Vermont students is provided by your college, university, or training school, the federal government, and VSAC. Scholarships are considered supplements to other aid, such as grants and loans.

Scholarships, like grants, are forms of “gift aid,” meaning there is no obligation (under most circumstances) to repay the funds. While grants are generally awarded according to financial need, scholarships are typically based on factors unique to each scholarship. These may include residency, degree program or major, academic achievement, extracurricular activities, and— in some cases—financial need.

Remember that when you apply for scholarships, you’ll be competing against other students who apply. Keep in mind, though, that if a scholarship is based on academic achievement, you may not have to be the best student in your class; you simply need to be the best student applying for that scholarship. Similarly, if a scholarship is based on financial need, your need will be compared only to the need of other applicants within that scholarship pool. Questions About Scholarships?

• Contact VSAC. • Contact your college or university. • Contact your local high school, businesses, clubs, or town officials. • Search the Web.
