International Applicants

Financial Aid for International Applicants

For more than a century, women from all parts of the world have come to Wellesley in pursuit of an outstanding university-level education.

What they find during their four years here is a highly challenging and rewarding academic experience, friendships with students and professors that will last a lifetime, and the confidence that they can succeed at whatever they set out to do.

With over 70 countries represented in the student body, Wellesley College offers international students independence, opportunity, and challenge. The 332 faculty members contribute to the international outlook of Wellesley's campus, with many recognized throughout the world as authorities in music, poetry, politics, economics, and science.

While the curriculum offers students exposure to new ways of learning, the Slater International/Multicultural Center provides support services and a space where students from diverse backgrounds may convene to study, cook, and gather informally. A student advisor for international students works with other staff at the center to create services and an environment that will promote the goal for which the center was established.

Among the services provided by the International Studies and Services Department are the following:
  An orientation program for international students attending Wellesley

The alumna hostess program for international students coming to study at Wellesley

Assistance to international students, international faculty, and academic department chairs with immigration law compliance

Personal counseling

Vacation and travel assistance

Specialized career information
