###
About VAST - The Vermont Academy of Science and Technology program was started in 1989 as a resource for high school seniors and home-schooled students with a strong interest and ability in science, math, and technology. It is the state’s original early-college program. Since then, many VAST students have found a place for themselves in the classrooms at Vermont Technical College. Some of our students combine their senior year of high school with their first year of a degree program at Vermont Tech. Others find the VAST year helpful in the competition for acceptance to a prestigious college or university. All VAST students are challenged with a rigorous year of academics and the opportunity to take on new responsibilities. Vermont students can attend VAST tuition-free thanks to high school waivers. http://www.vtc.edu/VAST.
