When the Vermont State Colleges System announced it was providing free tuition for students pursuing training in nursing and other âcritical occupationsâ at Castleton University, Northern Vermont University and Vermont Technical College, it did so with the hope there would be strong demand for the roughly $5 million in federal funds set aside for the program.
