  Cost of Attendance at Wellesley
     
   

Tuition and Fees 2009-10

Wellesley's comprehensive fee includes tuition, fees, and the room and board charge. The amount each student owes may vary depending upon her particular situation (see Determining Need). We go beyond tuition, room, and board when assessing each student's financial need. We also look at a broad range of expenses, including books, personal items, and travel for students who live at a distance.

Wellesley is in the fortunate position of being able to work individually with families and to extend help to those whose changed circumstances have reduced their ability to pay. Student Financial Services routinely responds to changes in financial circumstances throughout the academic year.
