College Scorecard (latest.cost.net_price.private.by_income_level.*), 2024

Estimate what your family would pay

Every school is required to publish a net price calculator. It asks about your family's finances and returns an estimate for you specifically, which is worth more than any average on this page. Your school counselor and the college's financial aid office can also help.

Scholarships and merit aid

Middlebury meets 100% of demonstrated need with a need-based aid model and awards essentially no merit aid (fewer than a handful of non-need institutional grants campus-wide).
