Student Support

The Posse Foundation

Middlebury has been a proud partner with the Posse Foundation for over 20 years. The Posse Foundation identifies, recruits and trains individuals with extraordinary leadership potential. Posse Scholars receive full-tuition leadership scholarships from Posse’s partner colleges and universities. 

Middlebury is the only small liberal arts college with three Posse cities (New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles) on campus, which makes for a very vibrant Posse community with 120 Posse Scholars at any given time here at Middlebury. 

The Wily Network

The Wily Network serves students who are navigating college without a safety net. Wily partners with Scholars throughout their college experiences, working with them to manage challenges and celebrate successes at each stage of their educational journeys. The Wily Network improves college outcomes for promising young people who have persevered through such life challenges as aging out of foster care, experiencing homelessness, or lacking family support through clinical coaching, financial support, community building, and professional development.
