Bennington College will award an annual $10,000 merit scholarship to accepted students who have completed one of the Governor’s Institutes of Vermont. The scholarship honors the memory of Andrea Diehl—a graduate of the Bennington College’s MFA program, former Director of Communications at the College, and Trustee of GIV—and recognizes and supports students whose exemplary commitment to learning has been evidenced by their choice to engage in college-level immersion learning in their spare time.
SCAD offers the Artistic Honors Scholarship: A $5,000 per year scholarship is awarded by the college to a limited number of accepted students who have won first place in the Congressional Art Competition, have participated in selected Governor’s Honors Programs, Governor’s Schools, or other similar approved programs (such as the Arts Institute), or who have demonstrated outstanding artistic ability through portfolio presentation as judged by the Scholarship Review Committee.
The Mississippi University for Women (host of the Mississippi Governor’s Schools) offers a $500 scholarship to any student from any state who attended a Governor’s School.
To get a full list of scholarship opportunities beyond this list, explore the many scholarships through the National Conference of Governor’s Schools.

We work to support our alumni long after their experiences with GIV in their educational, personal, and career goals! Check out some of these exciting opportunities for college-bound and career-bound young Vermonters!
This year, the McClure Foundation worked in partnership with the VT Department of Labor to identify over 50 promising jobs projected for young Vermonters entering the workforce. Each pays above the state median wage of $22.55/hour and is expected to have at least 500 openings over the next ten years.
Check out the McClure foundation website to read about these exciting opportunities and how you can pursue them, with links and resources for students and jobseekers alike.
Please reach out to us if you’d be interested in sharing your experience at GIV for our “Alumni Story” video series! You can also message us on social media.
We’d love to hear more about your experience and share it in writing, with photo memories, or with a video!
These stories inspire us and help new generations of GIV Alumni learn about the experience.
Did you know that state funding makes up only 15% of our budget? Donating directly to GIV helps keep these opportunities available for young Vermonters, no matter their financial circumstances.
We also need volunteers for both remote and in-person roles.
Your support means the world to us!
Let your local legislator know how much GIV means to you!
Alumni who voice their experience to legislators are invaluable towards getting support from our local government officials.
