Invest in the future, today.
The vast majority of the UVM student body receives some form of need-based or merit-based financial aid. Now, more than ever, there are tremendous opportunities to make rewarding new philanthropic investments and become a hero to our students and their families.
By supporting scholarships through the Student Opportunity, Access, and Recruitment (SOAR) campaign, you can help students find a home here and give them the opportunity to change their lives forever with a UVM education.

Areas where we need your help
Please consider designating your gift to one of the four areas of special need listed below. If you would like to explore other funds to support—or discuss creating a new fund—please contact us. Every single gift for scholarships or fellowships makes a difference for students at UVM. Thank you for your support.
President’s Common Ground Scholarship Program
This program supports economic mobility through financial aid and scholarships to students who, by their background or through their work, studies, and/or service endeavors, increase or support the diversity of UVM.
Vermont Scholarship Fund
If you really want to make a difference in the lives of Vermont students, make your gift to this scholarship fund, which helps keep UVM accessible to students from throughout the state.
UVM Scholarship Fund
This is the broadest and most popular scholarship fund at UVM. Giving to this fund is the best way to ensure that UVM can help any student who needs scholarship support.
Medical Alumni Association Scholarship
By providing scholarship support to Larner College of Medicine students, your gift to this fund helps create opportunities for the next generation of physicians in Vermont and beyond.
Support Students Today
By making a gift today, you will help current students get the most out of their time at UVM. They've earned their opportunities; by giving generously you can help them make the most of them.
With a pledge of $10,000 or more, you can establish your own named scholarship fund that can support students right away. To learn more, please contact us.
Support Students Forever
You can open the door to a UVM education for generations of students with an endowed scholarship fund. By establishing an endowed scholarship with a gift of $50,000 or more, you create a permanent, self-sustaining source of funding that will support UVM students year after year, forever.
To learn more about establishing an endowed scholarship fund, please contact us.
Would you like to discuss how you can support scholarships or fellowships through a planned gift? Many donors find it deeply rewarding to use bequests, trusts, annuities, or gifts of real estate to achieve their philanthropic goals at UVM. We’d love to speak with you about this—or reach out to your financial advisor to learn more.
