Your 2026-2027 financial aid is based on your 2024 income as reported on the 2026-2027 FAFSA.

If your income has been significantly reduced since 2024 and your family’s ability to pay has changed, we may be able to adjust your Federal Aid eligibility for financial aid by using 2025 actual income or 2026 estimated income.

Contact the Vermont State financial aid office at FinancialAid@VermontState.edu for additional information.
