Middlebury College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Middlebury College?

Middlebury charges the same published undergraduate tuition regardless of whether a student lives in Vermont. For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $67,100 and required fees were $500.

• Tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $67,600.
• Reported annual room and board: $20,116.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,000.

Those components total $88,716 before transportation, personal expenses, and any other costs included in an individual budget. This is a combination of reported categories for that year, not a claim that every student received an $88,716 bill. Rates change, and students should use the cost-of-attendance budget for their actual entry year.

Published cost is not net price. Grants can reduce what a family pays, while loans and student earnings shift how costs are financed rather than reducing the underlying charge. In the 2024-25 aid reporting, average net price was $8,229 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $49,824 for those from families earning above $110,000. These are group averages, not financial aid quotes.

Middlebury offers need-based institutional aid alongside eligible federal and state assistance. Aid applicants must follow the college's financial aid application requirements and deadlines; these may involve forms beyond the federal FAFSA. The reported average grant aid among undergraduate grant recipients was $59,359, but an average award should not be treated as an amount any particular applicant will receive. Students considering federal loans or veterans' education benefits should compare their own aid offer and eligibility with the full annual budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Middlebury College?

Middlebury students can pursue campus employment, and eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial aid offer. Work-Study is a federal aid program that helps fund wages from an approved job; it is not an upfront tuition discount or a guarantee of a position.

Students generally must find and perform a job to earn the wages shown in a work-study award. Other campus jobs may be open to students without Federal Work-Study, subject to employer hiring rules and available positions. Prospective students should compare expected hours and wages with their course schedules, particularly if they hope to use earnings for immediate expenses.

Middlebury's Center for Careers and Internships serves a different purpose from student payroll. It provides career exploration, advising, and resources for internships and postcollege job searches. A campus job or internship may build experience, but neither should be confused with a verified employment outcome.
