All public high schools in Vermont offer a state-wide “school choice” option to interested students and parents. This agreement mandates that the School Board designate the number of students allowed to transfer from and/or be enrolled into MUHS.

The ACSD Board voted that Middlebury Union High School has a capacity of 15 School Choice students. With our current enrollment, we anticipate that we will accept 6 School Choice students based on students that have left or will graduate.

2026-2027 School Choice Application

Interested families should contact the student’s current home school for an application.

A gap year is a year between high school and college study.
We encourage students to go through the process of applying to college at the same time they are contemplating the possibility of pursuing a gap year program.  A gap year is an opportunity for students to explore, travel, and spend time challenging themselves

The Common Application is a comprehensive online application that enables students to apply to colleges and universities using a centralized form.  Students are able to create their own account on the Common Application, which is utilized by close to 700 member institutions.  The Common Application is free to use, but each student will have to pay to submit the application to the colleges and universities to which they are applying, unless they have a fee waiver.   The Common Application’s website is filled with helpful information as to how to apply to their member colleges and universities, a virtual counselor, and more.

The Common App Essay Prompts 2024-2025
The essay is a required component of the Common Application and is an excellent way for each student to share their ideas, visions, and dreams with the admission committee. Admission officers appreciate when students “show, and don’t tell” when writing their essays.  Take time to prepare the essay, write clearly and thoughtfully; students  are encouraged to share their essay with others to review and offer suggestions prior to submission.  Be sure to stick to the 650 word limit that is prescribed and be careful to avoid topics that might be considered controversial.

College Essay Information:

What is Financial Aid? 

Financial Aid is any financial assistance that helps students attend post-secondary institutions.  Such aid is provided usually provided by various sources such as federal and state agencies, colleges, foundations and corporations.  This aid can be awarded in the forms of grants, education loans, work study, and scholarships.  In order to apply for any federal financial aid, students must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

If you have questions regarding financial aid, we encourage you to contact VSAC directly at 1-800-642-3177.  

For specific questions regarding financial aid throughout the college application process, please contact the financial aid office at each individual college as the process may vary at each institution.

 

Here is a helpful tool for students and parents to use when when comparing financial aid awards from colleges and universities.  This comparison chart is provided by Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC).  We encourage families to contact the financial aid offices at the colleges and universities directly with specific questions as they arise.
