This is an incentive type of scholarship - but yes - it is limited for need rather than merit - which for many in Vermont is very much needed. BUT - seeing as Vermont also has one of highest in-state tuitions in the country - YES - students DO seek opportunities elsewhere - and for many reasons - including financial. The in-state tuition is NO bargain for Vermonters - better bargains can be found elsewhere - in North Carolina for example - plus it is warmer in NC too.

And then there is the adage - the grass is always greener… but for students in Vermont - it really can be.
