Scholarship Overview

College President Ian Baucom revealed that the institution will cover full tuition for eligible students to improve college accessibility. Originally planned for families earning up to $150,000, the eligibility limit was raised due to external financial donations. Middlebury currently provides financial aid to around 50% of its student body, distributing nearly $80 million in total support with an average award of $66,000. The institution also works alongside national programs such as QuestBridge and Posse.
