No Matter Your Situation - You CAN Attend GIV!

GIV offers a "pay-what-you-can" tuition for winter 2022 to make sure every young Vermonter can participate.

Pay-What-You-Can

Tuition for GIV’s 2022 Climate Change Sprint is pay-what-you-can and the suggested tuition is $159. Our goal is to make sure every high school age Vermonter has the opportunity to participate, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

That means:

  • You choose the amount that your family can afford – no strings attached.
  • There’s no financial aid application needed.
  • Any amount above the suggested $159 level will be considered a donation, which helps less-fortunate students attend too.

Pay-what-you-can tuition was a success for our 2021 online programs and we are very grateful to all the families that were able to pay at or above the suggested tuition price. Your support of GIV allows us to focus on continuing to empower young people across Vermont by inspiring their academic and creative passions!
