Tuition for Professional & Continuing Education Programs

The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) provides grants to help residents of all ages pursue higher education and career training. These funds reduce the financial burden of schooling, making it more accessible for Vermonters to achieve their professional and academic goals.

Vermont Grant: Available to Vermont residents who demonstrate financial need and are accepted or enrolled in a full-time or part-time undergraduate degree or certificate program. Eligibility excludes those with a bachelor’s degree, except for students in UVM’s M.D. program or an accredited veterinary medicine program.

Advancement Grant: An option if you are taking a course or program to improve your ability to get a job or further expand your skills. Designed for adult learners who are not enrolled in high school, and are enrolled in a UVM Advance (non-degree or non-matriculated) course or program that will improve their ability to get a job or that encourages further study.

You must apply through VSAC to be considered for these grants at vsac.org. Looking for other funding options as a Vermonter? Contact vsac.org for more information.

UVM is honored to accept Veterans benefits and offers scholarships to cover all or some of the cost of training and tuition for eligible programs. UVM’s Veteran Services team can assist with obtaining the VA benefits for these programs.

Get Started with Veteran Services

The Vermont Legislature passed a historic bill in June 2022 which invests millions of dollars of state and federal funding into initiatives designed to address Vermont’s workforce shortage. This Workforce Development Funding will reduce or eliminate tuition for eligible students pursuing careers in critical fields such as skilled trades, early childhood education, nursing, mental health care and more. The program is offered through VSAC.

PACE works with employer partners in Vermont and beyond to provide relevant workforce development and training, often at a discounted price. Ask about preferred pricing for organizations through our Employer Partnership program.
