Vermont State University Pathway to Graduation is a five-year project designed to bolster student success and retention. The project is supported through a $2.25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Title III Strengthening Institutions Program. Castleton’s Pathway to Graduation will provide VTSU students with a meaningful, efficient, and supported path from the day they are admitted until the day they cross the stage at commencement.
