What happened
The University of Vermont is implementing tuition discounts to address enrollment decline and attract students from outside the state. The discounts include over 35% off tuition for certain majors for students from other New England states. Additionally, the university offers free tuition for in-state students whose households earn less than $125,000 annually.
