💸 Financial Aid
Simply put: We admit terrific people. Then we make Wellesley financially possible for them.
It’s Need Blind
Meaning, we don’t consider your financial situation when we review your application.
We Meet Your Need
Meaning, we calculate your financial need based on your family's financial situation and the cost of attending Wellesley. Then we meet that need 100%.
Little Loans
Meaning, if your family has typical assets, Student Financial Services calculates that your combined parent income is less than $100,000 a year, and your total calculated family contribution is less than $28,000, your financial aid package won’t include student loans. If your package does include loans, your four-year loan total is capped at $15,200.
🏦 Schneider Center
Mainly, offices that help students succeed. Including: Class Deans, Registrar, Student Financial Services, the Student Aid Society, and the Office of Student Success. All of which are available to students through daily office hours or individual appointments.
📻 Billings Hall
Adjacent to Schneider, Billings Hall houses student organizations, including WZLY (Wellesley’s student radio station), LGBTQ+ Programs and Services, the Office of Student Wellness, and the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life.
💪 Office of Student Success
Supporters of first gen, underrepresented, and underserved students. Offering: counseling, academic advising, a mentorship program, and career development. Plus clubs and orgs like the FLI Network, a community of first gen and/or low income students.
🏳️🌈 LGBTQ+ Programs and Services
Their office is called The Penthouse. Their mission is to support LGBTQ+ students. They track queer coursework across disciplines (‘Contemporary Queer Cinema,’ ‘Sapphic Modernism’) and host a variety of educational and social programs. Like: National Coming Out Day, Transgender Day of Remembrance, and, of course, Pride Promenade. It’s a black-tie tradition, started so that queer students, once prohibited from their own high school dances, could have a prom of their own.
