The UVM Fund is by far the most popular fund that our donors contribute to. As our “general fund,” it helps provide everything from scholarships, to internships, to programs and services that help students succeed.

SHANTI BOYLE ’21
Essex Junction, Vermont
"The museum did an excellent job providing me with learning opportunities that I hope I will get to use in my journalism career. I worked very closely with press and media in my internship—I think these interactions will prove to be really valuable for me in the future. I’m very grateful for this opportunity."
Shanti is a junior majoring in English and hoping to make a career in journalism. Over the summer, she got a jump start on those plans as a public relations intern with the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C., all thanks to the generosity of UVM donors.
