Vermont Student Assistant Corporation (VSAC)
The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation is a public nonprofit agency to help Vermonters who want to go to college or other training after high school. They provide grants, loans, scholarships, career and education planning, and general information about how you, or others in your family, can get the education you want. Maybe the Community College of Vermont has a new child care course, or you've decided to go from a CDA credential to a bachelor's degree in early childhood. Maybe you are looking to change careers. They provide assistance for many circumstances.
