Saint Michael’s College announces new tuition rates for Vermonters

October 3, 2025  |  By Waterbury Roundabout

Saint Michael’s College this week announced new financial aid opportunities to lower the cost of attendance, particularly for students from Vermont. 

The new programs include:  

Free Tuition Vermont – Vermont residents whose household income is $100,000 or less will have their tuition fully covered after the allocation of Pell and VSAC grants. Students are required to fill out the FAFSA first to be eligible for tuition coverage and then must apply for other state grants through Vermont Student Assistance Corporation. To receive full tuition in subsequent years, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5. 

UVM Match – Vermont residents whose household income is above $100,000 will pay the same tuition and fees as students who attend the University of Vermont, after institutional scholarships. This is part of the college’s new match program, through which out-of-state students will pay the same tuition and fees as their state’s flagship institutions, after institutional scholarships. 

Commuter Commitment – Vermont residents within a 35-mile radius of St. Mike’s who do not need room and board because they commute to campus will pay $11,500 per year in tuition, after institutional scholarships.  

These tuition rates are all available to new and transfer students applying to enroll starting with the 2026 spring semester, which begins in January.  

In addition to the new financial aid opportunities, students will also be eligible for college work study, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, and various loan programs.
