The Vermont Scholarship Fund
Why your donation is important
“The scholarships that you provide reduce the costs and debt loads of thousands of Vermont students, helping them achieve their education goals and dreams.”
Donald R. Vickers
President, VSAC
Read the stories of students who have overcome adversity to pursue higher education, and of donors who have marshaled resources sometimes beyond their own means to establish scholarships.
