The VSAC scholarships booklet, available in print and online (PDF):

• describes more than 150 scholarships open to Vermonters
• contains the application for all VSAC-administered scholarships
• has application details for nearly 40 other scholarships for Vermonters

For students attending college in 2010–2011, the application deadline of March 5, 2010, for all VSAC-administered scholarships has passed.

Through July 15, you may still be able to apply for scholarships in the booklet that are managed by other groups, if you meet the application criteria.

Keep an eye out for VSAC’s updated booklet available in October 2010, with information on scholarships for the 2011–2012 academic year.

Researching scholarships is worth the effort since scholarships usually do not have to be repaid.

No single source lists all available scholarships, so use many resources.

Learn more about scholarships and where to find them.

• Go to www.vsac.org/scholarships.
• Visit your high school guidance office.
• Check with your college financial aid office.

NOTE: Scholarships can affect a student’s overall financial aid, so ask each college how it handles outside scholarships:

• Will the college reduce its own aid, or can the family use the scholarship to reduce its out-of-pocket expense?
