University of Vermont Green and Gold Scholars Award

The University of Vermont Green & Gold Scholarship is an academic merit scholarship program that considers the nomination of the most academically talented rising high school senior from every eligible Vermont secondary school and Vermont resident attending select border schools. The most academically talented Vermont resident in each eligible school at the end of the junior year may be considered. Selection criteria will be determined by each eligible high school. To receive the Green and Gold Scholars Award, selected students must be competitive applicants who meet or exceed the minimum entrance requirements to the University. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information about the award and the nomination process. This full in-state tuition, four-year merit scholarship (currently valued at over $67,000) is awarded to select seniors attending eligible Vermont high schools (including public high schools and select private high schools in Vermont, and a number of border high schools). As a Green and Gold Scholar, an invitation to UVM's prestigious Honors College is included. By June each year, principals in eligible high schools nominate the most academically talented Vermont student at the end of the junior year, based on the student's ninth through eleventh grade record. To receive the Green and Gold Scholars Award, selected students must be a competitive applicant, meet or exceed minimum entrance requirements to the University and for the selected academic program, apply for admission by January 15 of the senior year, and must choose to attend UVM by May 1 of the semester prior to enrollment. This award may not be combined with other UVM merit scholarships. You must be enrolled in 12 or more credits per semester and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0. Renewal eligibility is evaluated at the end of each spring term.
