INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Middlebury takes seriously its role as a marketplace of ideas. Each year, students from more than 70 other countries, as well as all 50 states in the U.S., come together to share the diverse backgrounds and experiences that make learning here so rewarding, and life here so rich. We invite you to consider what you might gain from coming to Middlebury , and what you might contribute to others who, like yourself, seek the lessons that can be offered by a truly international community.

Financial Aid
Middlebury’s comprehensive fee for 2008-09 is $49,210. The comprehensive fee includes a student’s room, board, tuition and activities fee for the full academic year (September through May). Students should plan on an additional $2,750 to cover the cost of books and a reasonable amount of spending money.

In addition to the above expenses, all students must pay for their transportation to the United States and once in the United States toMiddlebury , VT. They must also have funds to feed and shelter themselves during the Thanksgiving, December, and spring vacation periods and to return home for the long summer vacation.

Financial assistance at Middlebury is based entirely on established need and, to the degree resources permit, is offered to international students on the same basis as it is to U.S. citizens. Each student is expected to contribute a minimum of $1,800 toward first-year expenses, and a minimum of $2,200 each year as sophomores, juniors and seniors.

Additional information and links to the appropriate forms are provided by the Financial Aid Office.
