Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe passage only says Middlebury has no merit scholarships, so it does not show whether merit is considered automatically or needs a separate application; the question does not apply.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearFor international students the college is need-blind only 'to the extent that financial resources allow', so it is not an unconditional guarantee and full need-blindness cannot be confirmed.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?YesAid applicants must submit the CSS Profile electronically; international applicants cannot substitute the ISFAA or a paper copy, and must also submit parent income/tax documents via IDOC.
