Middlebury College – Need Aware Scholarships for International Students

Scholarship Overview

• 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.

About the School

• From its proud history spanning more than two centuries, Middlebury College has emerged as one of a handful of the most highly regarded liberal arts colleges. Middlebury is unique among these schools in being a classic liberal arts college that also offers graduate and specialized programs operating around the world.
• The College is committed to educating students in the tradition of the liberal arts, which embodies a method of discourse as well as a group of disciplines; in our scientifically and mathematically oriented majors, just as in the humanities, the social sciences, the arts, and the languages, we emphasize reflection, discussion, and intensive interactions between students and faculty members. Our vibrant residential community, remarkable facilities, and the diversity of our co-curricular activities and support services all exist primarily to serve these educational purposes.
