Full Scholarships for Intensive Language Study at Middlebury Summer Language Schools in: Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese and Russian. The scholarships are part of the “100 Summer Scholarships for Peace” Program, made possible by a $1 million gift from Kathryn Wasserman Davis. The purpose of the program is to address today”s critical need for more effective language proficiency. Each individual grant covers the full comprehensive fee (tuition, room, and board) for one summer at the Middlebury Language Schools, plus transportation to and from Middlebury’s Vermont campus and program related expenses. One summer of intensive immersion language at Middlebury is the equivalent of one full year of language study taken during the regular academic year (applicants who are interested in transferring academic credit should check with their home institution regarding transferability).
