Qualified Vermont residents entering Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 can attend VTSU tuition free!
Delivering a high quality and affordable education to Vermonters is our top priority. With locations across the state, a Vermont State education is also accessible. To ensure affordability, VTSU will close the general tuition* gap with institutional aid after all federal, state, institutional, and employer-supported aid is applied to a student’s account.
- Vermont residents of any age enrolling as new students in degree programs starting in the fall semester of 2025 or spring semester of 2026.
- Student/family adjusted gross income of $50,000 or less as reflected on their FAFSA.
- Students seeking their initial undergraduate degree (associate or bachelor). Those with previous bachelor’s degrees or those seeking a certificate, do not qualify.
*The Vermont State University Free Tuition Guarantee covers general tuition only. Program tuition for Engineering and Technology; Nursing and Respiratory Therapy; and Dental and Radiologic is not covered by this program. See tuition figures for more information.
