Champlain Visit Scholarship

At Champlain, we believe that there is no substitute for coming to campus to understand what a college offers. We feel so strongly about this, we are offering a $4,000 scholarship to be applied toward tuition costs simply for experiencing a great day with us on our campus.

How it Works

Make an official campus visit to Champlain and receive a $4,000 scholarship toward the cost of your Champlain tuition—$1,000 for each year you are enrolled at Champlain.

An "official" campus visit means:

• You have registered and attended a day-long campus event (like Fall Open House, Winter Open House, etc.), or
• you have registered and attended one of our daily Information Sessions & Campus Tours at our campus in Burlington, Vermont, or
• you've visited Champlain as part of a group visit arranged by a high school, or
• you've attended one of the Champlain Pre-College Summer Programs.

That's it! If you come for a visit, we just need to make it "official" by knowing that you were here. (Sorry, unscheduled visits and off-campus interviews, receptions, or other events and meetings will not qualify.)

If you are admitted, your Champlain Visit Scholarship will be included in your financial aid award and will renew automatically each year that you are enrolled as a full-time student.

The Champlain Visit Scholarship is a part of our Count-On-It Financial Aid Guarantee, which means your scholarships from Champlain College will never go down as long as you are enrolled as a full-time student. We believe you should be able to count on your scholarships remaining consistent from year to year. Learn more about our financial aid guarantee.

Application Deadlines

All deadlines are 11:59 PM (Eastern Standard Time).

**Certain majors are not eligible for Spring enrollment.

Please note: Priority for housing is given based on the date the enrollment deposit is received. Early Decision applicants hear about admissions decisions earlier than other applicants, allowing them to be among the first matched with roommates and assigned a residence hall.  

Financial Aid Priority Filing Deadlines

File your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by these dates to ensure that your financial aid award includes all of the institutional and federal aid you are eligible to receive. If you complete your FAFSA after these dates, we will still determine all of your award eligibility if you are admitted to Champlain; it will just take longer from the time you received your Admissions notification to get this information to you.  

Champlain's FAFSA code is 003684.

All deadlines are 11:59 PM (Eastern Standard Time).
