AFFORDABILITY AND UVM UVM’s tuition and fees will remain at current rates for a fifth consecutive academic year, an initiative begun by President Suresh Garimella in 2019 to keep UVM affordable and accessible for students and families from Vermont and across the nation. To complement the frozen tuition rates, which apply to all students, the university held room and board fees level for a fourth straight year. To further reinforce UVM’s commitment to affordability and access in Vermont, Garimella announced the “UVM Promise,” a new program that guarantees full tuition scholarships to all dependent Vermont students in households with incomes of up to $60,000.
UVM’s Catamount Commitment ensures that dependent, Pell grant eligible Vermonters receive federal, state and UVM grants & scholarship to cover their tuition and fees.
