There doesn’t seem to be any discussion on the acceptance thread of any aid provided.
can anyone comment on what Merit Awards Middlebury may typically give?
Can anyone comment on what % of need based aid is satisfied with grants vs Loans?
As I commented on a similar thread of yours for another college, the best place to find that answer is on Middlebury’s website, middlebury.edu. Do not rely on random posters; instead, consult the most reliable source: the school itself.
Middlebury has need-blind admissions. It meets 100% demonstrated need. There are no merit scholarships or athletic scholarships at Middlebury, only need based aid. They state that they try to keep the loan portions small, and that four years’ maximum loan debt upon graduation averages $15,517.
How do I know this? I looked it up on their website. It took me less than one minute to look it up and type it here.
Good luck in your search. I recommend that you start with the schools’ own info, for hard and fast facts. Then, use College Confidential to gauge some of the “soft” information: like people’s impressions of how it feels to be a student on campus and what students value or are thinking about.
