Tuition at Middlebury College rose by 4.5% for the 2022-23 academic year, as revealed in the latest institutional report, according to the latest disclosure from the National Center for Education Statistics.

Students paid $62,460 to attend the private, four-year, not-for-profit college this year, an increase of $2,690 from the $59,770 charged during the 2021-22 academic year.

Approximately 4% of the undergraduate student body at Middlebury College are residents of Vermont. Around 70% come from other U.S. states, while international students make up about 11%.

Data indicates that 57% of full-time undergraduates who enrolled in the 2022-23 academic year received some form of student financial aid. A total of 349 students were awarded grants or scholarships amounting to $20.7 million, and 178 students obtained student loans exceeding $1.6 million.

Across all undergraduate students, 1,299 received grants or scholarships totaling $75.3 million. Additionally, 632 students borrowed $3.6 million in federal student loans.

Undergraduate education costs have seen a significant increase over the past few decades. Data shows a 169% rise in the average total cost, including tuition, fees, room, and board, between 1980 and 2020.

According to a 2023 College Board report, in-state students at public universities paid an average of $11,260, while out-of-state students paid $29,150 in the 2023-24 academic year.

Meanwhile, student loan debt has steadily increased over the last 30 years, reaching $1.75 trillion in 2024, averaging a total of $28,950 per borrower. Federal loans make up 92% of the debt, with over half of students at both public and private four-year colleges graduating with student loans.
