United Academics Scholarship Fundinc

United Academics is the faculty union of the University of Vermont, dedicated to supporting students who demonstrate a commitment to community service, particularly in the areas of social, economic, or environmental justice. Each year, the organization awards several scholarships, including the Jeffrey Brace Scholarship and the Linda Backus Memorial Scholarship, to recognize and encourage student involvement in these critical areas.

The Jeffrey Brace Scholarship honors the legacy of an early 19th-century Black Vermonter and activist, while the Linda Backus Memorial Scholarship is awarded to students for outstanding community service, reflecting the values and mission of United Academics. Both scholarships require applicants to submit essays detailing their community service efforts and connections to social justice initiatives.
