Currently we offer scholarships only for Middlebury College Faculty and Staff. These scholarships include meals on program days but do not include lodging. They are first come first serve; returnees are waitlisted. If a College staff or faculty member wishes to stay overnight at Bread Loaf, this cost is not included in the scholarship and must be purchased separately. 

Lodging will be on site at Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf Campus. Bread Loaf is in the Green Mountain National Forest - about 20 minutes away from the main Middlebury College Campus. Lodging will be in the recently renovated Inn as well as other historical buildings nearby. Here is a video that will help you visualize the environment. Here is more information about the history of Bread Loaf.   

Meals are prepared by kitchen staff at the Inn and will be shared in a dining hall. Ingredients are locally sourced as much as possible. There will be two coffee/snack breaks during the day, one in the mid-morning and one in the mid-afternoon. There will also be cash bars in the evening after dinner. It is important that you fill out the survey after registering online in case you have any dietary restrictions so we can make note of your needs.
