This scholarship is another huge source of money for our Upward Bound students.  The application is A LOT of work but for those who complete it, the benefits can be significant!

Our students have great success stories and their work hard on this scholarship pays off!  Whether you are a new applicant or a renewal, please click here to visit the Stephen Phillips Memorial Scholarship web site for more information and access to the application!

The VSAC scholarship book is something we hand out to all of our senior every year.  It is an incredible resource of scholarships and each year, students receive thousands of dollars for their work in this book.

One scholarship we put a lot of emphasis on is the Freeman Scholarship.  For Northeast Kingdom students only, this renewable scholarship focuses on academics (3.0 GPA or higher), community service and financial need.  Students must be the first in their family to attend college or have other significant barriers that limit their access to college.

You can access this book online at thisVSAC Scholarship link.  The site also contains important information on grants, work-study and loans.

Here are a number of other Scholarships available. Look through them and see if you meet the requirements!
