Mission

The Vermont Scholarship Fund is a 501(c)(3) charitable affiliate of the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation. Our mission is to provide scholarships to Vermonters through gifts from individual donors and philanthropic sources. Together with our Donors we make it possible for more Vermonters to aim higher, go further, and build something better for themselves, for their families, for their community, and for our shared world. We partner closely with our donors to create scholarship funds that reflect their personal and philanthropic values as well as their financial goals, so they can help open the doors to higher education for others. We administer all scholarships through VSAC, with ongoing support that makes managing a scholarship easy. VSAC currently awards about 13.2 million in scholarships through 149 award programs to 3,527 Vermonters.
