Financial Aid for Cannabis Studies Students
Vermont State University is providing a high-quality, affordable option for degree completion to students across Vermont and beyond. More than 80 percent of Vermont State students are awarded financial aid, including new students, transfer students, international students, out-of-state students, and first-generation students. Our financial aid team is here to help you explore all your options.
Note: Federal aid eligibility is determined by enrollment status in non-cannabis courses as federal aid can’t be used to pay for cannabis related coursework. If you have questions about your financial aid eligibility and taking cannabis courses, contact FinancialAid@VermontState.edu.
