Admission & Aid<br />

Admission<br />

New students are admitted on a rolling basis<br />

beginning on January 8; as long as space is<br />

available, new applications will be accepted<br />

until May 15.<br />

M.A. Program, Continuing<br />

Graduate Education, and<br />

Undergraduate Honors<br />

Admission is based on college transcripts,<br />

letters of recommendation, a statement<br />

of purpose, and a writing sample.<br />

M.Litt. Program<br />

Admission is limited to students holding<br />

an M.A. in English with especially strong<br />

academic records. Candidates (including<br />

Bread Loaf M.A.s) will be evaluated<br />

primarily on the basis of their master’s<br />

degree course work and a sample of their<br />

graduate-level writing. Applicants holding<br />

a Bread Loaf M.A. are encouraged to<br />

apply by December 1.<br />

As Bread Loaf is especially<br />

committed to increasing diversity<br />

in its community, minority<br />

applications are encouraged.<br />

Instructions for Application<br />

New applicants should complete the online<br />

application form and mail supporting<br />

materials, along with a $55 application fee.<br />

First-time applicants who were accepted for<br />

a previous summer but did not attend Bread<br />

Loaf may reactivate their applications online<br />

or submit a new application form; they will<br />

be considered for admission with other new<br />

applicants. They will not be required to pay<br />

the application fee again, or to resubmit<br />

supporting application materials if they<br />

reapply within two years (the Bread Loaf<br />

office will keep all such applications on file<br />

for two years only).<br />

6<br />

Re-enrollment<br />

Returning students should re-enroll online<br />

at the end of the summer session or early in<br />

the fall. They will be notified of re-enrollment<br />

in December. Students whose work receives<br />

a grade below B will be placed on academic<br />

probation. Students who receive a second<br />

grade below B may be denied re-enrollment.<br />

Returning students who have not attended<br />

Bread Loaf in the past ten years or more<br />

will be asked to submit new application<br />

materials.<br />

Financial Aid<br />

No interested applicant with strong credentials<br />

should fail to apply because of need.<br />

Because of the generosity over the years of<br />

Bread Loaf graduates, faculty, and friends,<br />

the School has steadily increased its financial<br />

aid resources.<br />

Financial aid in the form of grants and loans<br />

is available at all campuses; aid is awarded<br />

on the basis of financial need and scholastic<br />

achievement. To be considered for all types<br />

of aid offered through <strong>Middlebury</strong> <strong>College</strong>,<br />

a student must first file a Bread Loaf<br />

Financial Aid Form with the <strong>Middlebury</strong><br />

Office of Student Financial Services. (For<br />

more information, downloadable forms, and<br />

the link to the online financial aid application,<br />

visit the Bread Loaf Web site at: www.<br />

middlebury.edu/academics/blse/finaid/.)<br />

Requests for aid should be made when the<br />

application form is submitted to the School.<br />

Since financial aid is dispensed on a firstcome,<br />

first-served basis, students are advised<br />

to return all completed materials as soon as<br />

possible after they are received. On-campus<br />

student jobs are available in Vermont and<br />

New Mexico.<br />

Bread Loaf staff work throughout the<br />

year to raise funds for special fellowships.<br />

Information about any fellowships will be<br />

posted on the Bread Loaf Web site if and<br />

when they become available.
