University of Vermont Class of 2020 Decision thread

Did anyone get scholarship information in their acceptance package? I didn’t and I’m assuming I wouldn’t know until they release fin aid info after FAFSA?

Scholarship - Merit based is independent of FASFA. You don’t need to file a FASFA to get merit aid at most colleges. It will probably be 2-3 weeks after acceptance before receiving any notification of merit, eg, Presidential Scholar, et al…

My scholarship and honors college info was posted today but idk if it has been posted for everyone.

@pdubs97 I got mine too. Trustees Scholarship :slight_smile:

Glad I got the max Presidential Scholarship but UVM is still probably too expensive for me to attend.

@mylesparslow - what acceptances have you received and from where are you still waiting to hear? UVM would appear to have been a safety for you, but given you state it is not affordable, it is not really a safety option. You are clearly a strong student. Where do things stand?

Can u tell me your test scores, my daughter got in, we are waiting for scholarship info.

S got the Presidential Scholarship, I think it was posted at same time via acceptance. If not, it was posted soon after

It’s looking like UVM may actually be the cheapest option for me… we shall see!

Anyone else get an invitation to the honors college?

Yes I did :slight_smile: @Kingb543

capesdorysailor, my son has the exact same stats. Did you receive merit aid?
