What is the cost of studying for a year at Sterling College-Vermont?

For 2024-25, Sterling reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for Vermont and out-of-state students. The published tuition-and-required-fees figure was $40,760 before housing, meals, books, transportation, personal expenses, or financial aid.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition: $40,560 for the 2024-25 reporting year.
  • Required fees: $200 for the same reporting year.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition: $1,460 per credit hour for the same reporting year.

Those charges are not a complete annual cost of attendance. In the same reporting period, the average net price was $17,655 for students from families with annual incomes of $0-$48,000 and $24,564 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 bracket. Net price reflects costs after grant aid for the students included in each calculation; it is not an individual aid offer. All students in the reported aid population received some form of financial aid, while 37% had student loans. Any applicant considering enrollment needs a current, itemized cost estimate and a financial-aid offer for the actual year of attendance.

What are the work-study opportunities at Sterling College-Vermont?

Sterling's educational model historically incorporated hands-on work, and its career profile indicated that students were required to complete an internship. An internship is an academic or career-development experience; it is not necessarily a paid campus job or Federal Work-Study position.

Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through an approved job rather than a grant paid in advance. Ordinary campus employment has different eligibility and funding rules. Students should check their individual aid offer and ask which positions are paid, how jobs are assigned, and whether any required internship can also qualify as employment.
