Payment and Pricing
At Roots School we strive to price our classes with affordability in mind. If pricing is an issue for you, there are a few options:
VSAC
Vermont Student Assistance Corporation is a public non-profit agency to help Vermonters who want to go to college or other training after high school. Roots School is now VSAC approved which means students can now apply for non-degree grants to take our classes. The application process is straightforward and Vermonters can be granted up to around $800 a semester. Timing is important as they issue the grants twice a year, so if you are interested we recommend looking into it as soon as possible.
