Military Spouses

As a Military Friendly School, the Middlebury Institute provides flexible opportunities for military spouses, especially those who might only be in Monterey for a short time.

Whether you choose an in-person or online experience, the Middlebury Institute offers a holistic admissions process and understands that the academic and professional careers of military spouses may be varied. We offer generous scholarships for those not able to access GI Bill benefits.
