FY 2014 Governor’s Initiatives


Early College Programs

Based on the successful Vermont Academy of Science and Technology, which allows seniors to enroll at VTC for their senior year. VTC receives 87% of the base education rate from the education fund. Expansion would allow students to access programs at other colleges which choose to develop a program. Increases aspiration and access; less time and money to degree. 54 students enrolled in Williston and Randolph.

Dual Enrollment

Doubling the NextGen funds for dual enrollment will increase access to vouchers for college courses by high school students. Administration’s intent is to transition over time to funding access to dual enrollment from local budgets.

Vermont Strong Scholars Program

Targeted tuition repayment for STEM majors who complete an associates or bachelors degree within two or four years. Tied to completion and Vermont residency for three or five years. Effective tool for continuation, timely completion and selection of an economically valuable major. Legislation pending in the House Education committee.

Challenges for Vermont o  A majority of the new jobs being created in Vermont will

require postsecondary experience. o  Too few Vermont students aspire to continue to college.

o  2010 U.S. Census Bureau Data*: •  91% of Vermonters over the age of 25 have a high school

degree or equivalent. •  47% have some college or an Associate’s degree. •  33% have a Bachelor’s degree or higher. *U.S. Census Bureau, 2005-‐2009 American Community Survey hFp://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/educaLon/educaLonal_aFainment.html


Objectives for Vermont

o  More students into college

•  Improving access

•  Changing aspirations

o  More students complete college

•  Controlling cost

•  Improving readiness

o  More of those who complete college remain in Vermont

•  Relevant programming tied to opportunities in state
