This is why we’re here.
Students. Students are at the heart of virtually everything we do here at UVM, and nothing is more important than giving them a high-value educational experience and setting them on the road to success.
Scholarship support makes it easier for every student to get the fullest and most rewarding experience possible. Scholarships mean more bright, engaged students focused on their educational and extracurricular activities—not on whether they can make next semester’s tuition or rent payment. Scholarships mean diverse views are shared around the seminar table, diverse skills drive discovery in the lab, and diverse experiences shape life in the residence halls. More scholarships mean more learning, creativity, ideas, innovation, growth, camaraderie, fun… more of what makes UVM the amazing place it is.
By supporting scholarships and fellowships, you have a profound impact on students—and the entire University. Read on to meet a few of the thousands of students thriving at UVM thanks to the generosity of our amazing donors.
