Vermont Dual Enrollment Get a Head Start on College
Did you know that you can start on your college career early and save a little money? By earning 3-18 college credits while you are still in high school you save yourself time in college, and therefore save some tuition cost. There are several colleges in our area which offer Dual Enrollment:
The Vermont Dual Enrollment program allows students to take two college courses at any of the five Vermont State Colleges tuition free -- Castleton State College, Community College of Vermont, Johnson State College, Lyndon State College and Vermont Technical College. Students can use one voucher in their junior year of high school, and one in their senior year. These vouchers can be also used at other Vermont colleges and universities through a statewide partnership agreement supported by the State of Vermont's Next Generation Initiative.
