From Middlebury College

Global thinker. Bridge Builder. Advocate. Activist. Environmentalist. Trailblazer. Adventurer. Collaborator. If that’s who you are—or who you want to become—then Middlebury is where you belong. For more than 200 years, exceptional students have come to Middlebury for our progressive thinking, international focus, rigorous academics, high expectations, and even higher outcomes. Our broad liberal arts and sciences curriculum, 37 Schools Abroad, and exceptional career and internship programs, prepare students for success. We're home to the country's first Environmental Studies program, the first college Quadball (formerly known as Quidditch) team, and we are one of only two colleges in the East with their own ski areas. Cost won’t hold you back: Middlebury is a need-blind institution and will meet 100% of your full demonstrated financial need if you are admitted.

We Meet 100% of Financial Need

academic spotlight

Our generous financial aid program sets us apart. For accepted domestic students, we are one of fewer than 30 colleges that are both need blind and meet 100% of demonstrated financial need. (International student admissions are need aware). More than 50% of students receive financial aid. We keep student loan levels low; most aid is given in grants that do not have to be repaid.
