Scholarship Review Process

The Scholarships360 Research Team reviews all scholarships individually and strives to exclude any scholarship where any of the below applies:

  • The scholarship requires a fee to apply
  • The scholarship provider’s privacy policy allows for the misuse of student data
  • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)
  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*
  • The scholarship seems primarily used for lead generation** or idea harvesting purposes***
  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

If you believe a scholarship has been published in error, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll take a look!


* There are certain exceptions to this, for example if the sponsoring organization is a major corporation or nonprofit with its own scholarship application system.
** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity

In-state tuition allows residents of a state to receive cheaper tuition for a college or university in their state. Additionally, many universities and colleges reserve scholarships and financial aid for in-state students, which helps reduce the cost of attending college for those who live there.

Here are a few well-known Vermont universities and their in-state vs out-of-state tuition costs:

University of Vermont – Burlington

  • In-state tuition: $16,280
  • Out-of-state tuition: $41,280

Vermont State University

  • In-state tuition: $9,984
  • Out-of-state tuition: $19,992

Castleton University

  • In-state tuition: $25,482
  • Out-of-state tuition: $42,450

How do you get in-state tuition? 

Vermont is a difficult state to establish residency for tuition purposes. Unfortunately, most colleges and universities within Vermont do not allow students to establish domicile or residence in Vermont just for the sole purpose of receiving in-state tuition. Therefore, it is a lot of work and a semi-difficult task to establish residency in Vermont for in-state tuition purposes. 

Does Vermont offer tuition reciprocity? 

Yes, Vermont is part of the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) Tuition Break program which provides tuition reciprocity  savings to residents in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and of course, Vermont. Eligibility for this program varies by state and institution so be sure to double check with your intended institution.
