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 />

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.
