School of the Environment

Whether you’re a Middlebury College undergraduate student, or an undergraduate student from another institution, you are eligible to apply for aid. The application requirements for need-based aid are below.  For more information and to apply for merit aid and scholarships, refer to our main School of the Environment site.

Process

Funds are limited, so you’re encouraged to apply early. Do not wait for an admissions decision before you apply for aid.  Follow these steps:

1. Submit your School of the Environment application for admission. 
2. Beginning in late October 2023, within a few days after you have submitted your application for admission, you will receive an email with the subject “Middlebury Financial Aid Information” that includes instructions on how to access and complete the Middlebury Summer Schools Financial Aid Application in Net Partner, Middlebury’s Student Financial Aid Portal. Current undergraduate students at the College will complete the Middlebury Undergraduate Summer Financial Aid Request Form.
3. The first round deadline for merit aid and scholarships from School of the Environment is January 15th, so it’s best to have your completed admissions application with all supporting documents submitted by that date for consideration. You will be notified of merit and scholarship awards by email in February and March.

Financial aid awarding for need-based funds will start in January 2024 and continue on a rolling basis throughout the spring until funds are depleted.

Awarding for Summer 2024
