Helpful information for planning and paying for Wellesley educational costs.
Wellesley College has a long-standing commitment to helping families afford the cost of an education in terms of traditional financial aid, payment, and financing plans. Our goal is to make your education at Wellesley College possible and affordable.
An Overview of Your Financial Responsibilities
As a student, your financial responsibilities to Wellesley College include meeting payment deadlines and following other policies, fulfilling loan or grant requirements, and addressing outstanding balances--even if someone else is making the payments for you.
It is important to understand that information and communications will be geared toward and directed to you rather than a parent or guardian. If a parent or other individual handles your educational finances, take the first step in your involvement by discussing the information with them.
The Student Financial Services website is a wonderful resource for understanding billing, financing and paying for your time at Wellesley. The site includes a number of helpful FAQs, forms and helpful links, payment deadlines, as well as information about Wellesley's payment policy and options.
Charges and financial aid for the Fall semester are posted to your account July. To view your account, log into your MyWellesley portal account and click on the Financial Services tab.
