Scholarship Opportunities

Each year, our scholarship opportunities are unique. Annual scholarships are sponsored by donors that have established both endowed scholarship funds as well as annual pass-through scholarships. We encourage our applicants to explore the history of the scholarship they receive to more deeply understand the magnitude of kindness within our region.

The Vermilion Campus Foundation scholarship season begins in January with scholarship availability announcements and application opportunities in February and closes in March with scholarship awards. A finalized annual scholarship list will be released in early January so students can begin to prepare for the application process. Scholarship applications are accepted February 1st through February 28th. Scholarship recipients are selected by our scholarship committee which consists of staff, faculty, and community members. Scholarships are awarded in March.

Scholarship recipients receive their scholarship funds in late summer following the award season. Each scholarship season’s award money applies to the upcoming academic year. For students who will attend Vermilion during the upcoming academic year, scholarship funds are deposited directly into their student account. For students who are awarded a transfer scholarship and will attend another institution, scholarship funds are sent directly to their new school.
