Rural Vermont shapes the Vermont State University experience, with four of our five campuses located on hilltops and vistas in small VT towns.

With support from a $386,780 SerVermont grant for 2025–2026, Vermont Rural Learning Collective AmeriCorps members are expanding educational initiatives and local food access, reaching more than 4,000 K–12 students this year.

In the nation’s most rural state, with a strong focus on the Northeast Kingdom, that work is essential.

LYNDON — Rural Vermont has a constant presence at Vermont State University (VTSU), where four of its five campuses sit on hilltops and vistas around smaller Vermont towns.
