Scholarships

MIIS guarantees $10,000 scholarships for alumni of any Middlebury degree program and their extended family members.



Past participants in nondegree Middlebury programs such as Study Away, Study Abroad and the Language Schools are eligible for a $5,000 scholarship.

You may also receive additional merit and/or need-based scholarships.

Second Language Proficiency

Proficiency in a second language is a requirement for the MA in Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies and optional for the MA in International Policy and Development, MPA, and MA in International Environmental Policy. We recommend that you’ve completed the equivalent of one year or more of recent college-level language study before your first semester.
