Weekly update from Tim Albertson

Stowe High School’s robotics team, Team 9096 Bad Weather, had an exciting and hard-fought showing this past weekend at the FIRST Robotics Competition at UVM, competing against and alongside 34 teams from across New England. Despite sustaining damage to its wheels and superstructure, the robot they designed and built from scratch continued to compete, with team members making rapid repairs between matches. Their perseverance and skill earned Bad Weather a spot in the semifinals, where their run ended in the second round. In addition to competing, students connected with industry leaders, including executives from Beta Technologies, toured UVM’s engineering department, and presented their work to both Beta executives and members of the UVM College of Engineering board.

Selected students from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont will each receive a $1,000 scholarship to support their education.

Applications are now open, and we would love your support in spreading the word to eligible students. The deadline to apply is Friday, April 10th.

In addition to the scholarship, recipients will participate in a service project at Fenway Park before being honored on the field prior to the Tuesday, June 30th game against the Washington Nationals at 7:10pm.

Would you be able to share this opportunity with your students, as well as through school newsletters, guidance office announcements, or social media channels?

Three scholarships, in the amount of $3,000 each this year, were established to honor Winona Smith, a long-time leader of the League of Women Voters of Vermont, who devoted her energies to ensuring that Vermont students receive the best possible education. The awards are presented to a Vermont resident in his or her senior year of high school who has demonstrated an interest in civic participation and community service, who has a stated need for financial aid and who is highly recommended by a teacher or mentor. The student must be matriculating this calendar year.

The application must be completed online at www.lwvofvt.org/winona-smith-vermont-scholarship-application/

The student will need to post TWO essays online, one on a U.S. voting rights issue, and the other on a local, state, national, or international issue of importance to them. Both essays are necessary for completion of the application. Recommendations by teachers, guidance counselors and other significant mentors can be completed at https://lwvofvt.org/recommend-scholarship-applicant.

Applications should be submitted online no later than April 30, 2026 at midnight. Only applications including both essays and a recommendation letter will be considered for the scholarship. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they have a completed application. If there are questions, please email league@lwvofvt.

The 2026-2027 FAFSA is Now Available

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the most important step to getting financial aid for college and career training. This online form is used by post-secondary institutions and state agencies, like VSAC, to determine the types and amounts of financial aid to eligible students.

Vermont residents should also complete the Vermont Grant application. Eligible students have received from $1,000 to $15,350 in Vermont grants for the 2025–2026 academic year. To determine your eligibility, complete the 2026-27 FAFSA and Vermont Grant application.

Do you need help completing your applications for the 2026-27 school year? From early October to early February, VSAC is offering 1:1 virtual and in-person appointments in Winooski. Sign up today.
