Special Scholarships for Students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities:  The Bread Loaf School of English, which is committed to increasing and supporting the diversity of its student population, offers a limited number of special scholarships for graduates of Historically Black Colleges or Universities and Tribal Colleges and Universities. The scholarships will cover up to 100% of demonstrated financial need, as determined by Middlebury's Student Financial Services Office. The program is tailored to the talents and needs of K-12 English and language arts teachers, and we encourage applications from graduates who are currently teaching. Undergraduates from these institutions who will have completed their junior year by summer 2013 are also eligible to apply.
