Middlebury College has a longstanding commitment to making education affordable. We are one of a small group of colleges that meet full demonstrated need for all admitted students. This year, we’ve awarded nearly $80 million in institutional aid with an average grant of $66,000.

Starting with the first-year class entering in fall 2027, Middlebury will be tuition-free for students with family incomes up to $175,000 and typical assets.
