UVM Certificate Program

What are the eligibility requirements to apply for the scholarship?

The only qualification for the scholarship is residency. Full-tuition scholarships are available for residents of California and bordering states.

Do I have to apply for the scholarship for each course?

Once you are awarded a scholarship, there is no need to reapply for subsequent courses. Provided that PG&E funds are available, we intend to pay tuition for all of your future program courses.

I am already enrolled and have started the program. Can I still get a scholarship for future courses?

Yes! We would be happy to consider you for a scholarship to cover future tuition, however, we will not reimburse tuition already paid. Please contact us at info@uvmscholarships.org to discuss your scholarship options.

Should I enroll for the UVM Certificate Program before I am awarded a scholarship?

You are welcome to enroll for the UVM Certificate Program before you are awarded a scholarship. However, you will be required to make a deposit at that time. Please note that neither the UVM Scholarship Program nor the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point (UWSP) can guarantee a refund of your deposit in the event you are awarded a scholarship.

My original scholarship grant expired; can I reapply for a scholarship?

Yes, you are welcome to submit a new application and it will be considered in the order that it is received.

Where can I find more information about the UVM Certificate Program? How much time is required of students?

Information about the UVM Certificate Program can be found on the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point (UWSP) Forestry Center website. Each course has a page which will tell you the number of weeks and the expected hours per week the course is likely to require.

Where do I find information on the industry’s Certified Utility Vegetation Management Professional credential?
