Affording Wellesley
When assessing a student's financial need, we go beyond tuition, room, and meal plan and look at expenses like books, personal items, and travel for students who live at a distance. The College is eager to work individually with families and their unique circumstances in order to make Wellesley affordable. Wellesley’s financial support also subsidizes summer internships as well as international study and U.S. exchange programs.
Full participation in student life at Wellesley will not break the bank, either; virtually all events on campus are free.
