About the Program
Recognition of outstanding young women for
exceptional scholarship and distinction in other fields
is a primary objective of Wellesley
College. To extend that recognition beyond the College
and to alert superior students to what a Wellesley education
provides,
the Alumnae Association offers and partially underwrites
the Wellesley Book Award Program to clubs and individual
donors as
an annual project.
If you are a high school interested in learning
about the Wellesley College Book Award Program, please
contact the Clubs
Office of the Wellesley College Alumnae
Association (781-283-2310).
A Message from the Dean
of Admission:
The Wellesley Book Award honors young women
who have been top scholars in high school as well as talented
performers in extracurricular
areas. The Book Award Program recognizes young women who
have excelled and gives them the opportunity to become better
acquainted
with Wellesley.
Young women should be chosen for their intelligence,
determination, motivation, and achievement. They should
be visible members of their schools and communities.
Most importantly, however, they should be the academic leaders in their secondary
schools. Wellesley's history is rich with women who have demonstrated excellence
in the classroom and in personal achievements. We hope to continue that legacy
with the Book Award.
We also realize that some areas of the country
are not as familiar with Wellesley as we would wish.
The Book Award Program allows teachers, parents, and students
to get to know Wellesley better. If those students decide to apply to Wellesley,
we will be delighted, but our aim is to distinguish these young women who
have been so outstanding in their academic and personal lives.
The Award
The Alumnae Association is pleased to
offer The
Norton Book of Women's Lives, a collection of twentieth
century literature of women's lives--autobiographies,
journals, memoirs--a celebration of life itself. The
Wellesley edition
is a blue linen slip-cased publication with the Wellesley
seal embossed in gold and a bookplate printed on a special
tipped-in page. To order books, please use the
online order form or contact our
award
coordinator at bookawards@alum.wellesley.edu,
