21. FY 2014 Governor’s Initiatives
Vermont State Colleges
21
Early College Programs
Based on the successful Vermont Academy of Science and Technology, which allows
seniors to enroll at VTC for their senior year. VTC receives 87% of the base education
rate from the education fund. Expansion would allow students to access programs at
other colleges which choose to develop a program. Increases aspiration and access;
less time and money to degree. 54 students enrolled in Williston and Randolph.
Dual Enrollment
Doubling the NextGen funds for dual enrollment will increase access to vouchers for
college courses by high school students. Administration’s intent is to transition over
time to funding access to dual enrollment from local budgets.
Vermont Strong Scholars Program
Targeted tuition repayment for STEM majors who complete an associates or bachelors
degree within two or four years. Tied to completion and Vermont residency for three or
five years. Effective tool for continuation, timely completion and selection of an
economically valuable major. Legislation pending in the House Education committee.
22. Challenges for Vermont
o A majority of the new jobs being created in Vermont will
require postsecondary experience.
o Too few Vermont students aspire to continue to college.
o 2010 U.S. Census Bureau Data*:
• 91% of Vermonters over the age of 25 have a high school
degree or equivalent.
• 47% have some college or an Associate’s degree.
• 33% have a Bachelor’s degree or higher.
