UVM cost & aid FAQ
How much does UVM cost after financial aid?
The average family pays about $20,084 per year at UVM after grants and scholarships, against a sticker price of $36,772. Use the calculator to estimate your own net price by family income.
What does UVM cost by family income?
At UVM, the average total net price (tuition, room, board and fees, after aid) is about $12,015 per year for families earning under $30,000 and about $26,751 for families earning over $110,000. Net price rises with income because most aid is need-based.
Does UVM offer free tuition?
Yes. UVM waives tuition for families earning under $100,000 a year. That covers tuition itself; room, board and fees may still apply, so the total cost can be above zero.
Does UVM give financial aid to international students?
Limited aid for international students, mostly merit. International applicants should confirm aid policies directly with UVM's financial aid office.
Does UVM meet full financial need?
Does not meet full need for everyone. Meeting need means the school aims to cover the gap between its cost and what your family can pay, as determined by the FAFSA and CSS Profile.
