Green Mountain Job and Retention Program: Work in Vermont. Get $5,000 off your student loans.

Calling all recent graduates!

The State of Vermont, in collaboration with the University of Vermont and the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC), is offering a $5000 loan repayment program to incentivize and retain new graduates from Vermont colleges and universities.

This opportunity is open to any Vermont bachelor’s and master’s students who graduated between July 2024 and June 2025 and plan to work full-time for a Vermont based company and live in Vermont for at least two years following graduation. We’ve made a few updates to our program: we’ve expanded eligibility to include both bachelor’s and master’s degree graduates and we’re no longer requiring students to be working a job that requires a bachelor’s degree.

Recipients will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis based on regional, employer, and institutional distribution criteria, for as long as funding is available. Click this link for further details into the loan repayment program and don’t miss this unique opportunity to leverage your education from Vermont colleges and shape your professional career. Applications open July 7th, 2025!
