Honoring our Fellows allows us to bring attention to the wonderful work that Vermonters have done and are doing to advance the arts, humanities, and sciences in our state.

Each fall, the Vermont Academy of Arts & Sciences selects a slate of Fellows who have made meaningful contributions in the fields of the arts, humanities, and sciences in the state of Vermont. Collectively, our Fellows represent lifetimes of work and progress for our state and its citizens.

Fellows of the Academy are elected by the Board of Trustees, on nomination by the awards committee, in recognition of outstanding contributions in the arts, humanities, sciences or teaching. Fellows are normally inducted at a special luncheon preceding the fall conference.
