Admissions

Financial Aid

We're committed to helping all our students find the resources that will allow them to realize their goals at Woodbury College.

A Variety of Options

As a student at Woodbury College, you will be eligible to apply for a range of federal and state grants and loans, employment retraining funds, and various sources of scholarships. Most aid is awarded on the basis of need. Woodbury College makes every effort to be sure that financial considerations do not stand in the way of any applicant. Approximately 85 percent of students attending Woodbury receive some form of financial aid.

As you plan your studies, please keep in mind the value of the investment you are making. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that you can expect an average increase in salary of between 8 percent and 10 percent for every year of college completed. And, not only does more education lead to higher paying jobs, it makes it more likely that you can find a job.

Types of Financial Aid

Grants available to eligible students include the Federal Pell Grant, the Vermont State Student Incentive Grant (for Vermont residents), the Academic Competitiveness Grant, and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant. Loans are also available through the Federal Family Education Loan Program, which includes the Federal Stafford Loan, the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan, and the Federal PLUS Loan. You may be eligible for other forms of aid, including Federal Work-Study funds, Woodbury Scholarships, and others. In addition, The Hope Scholarship tax credit and Lifetime Learning tax credit are intended to make higher education more affordable.
