We admit terrific people, and then we make sure Wellesley is financially possible for them.

We are committed to making Wellesley accessible to students from all walks of life. Nearly 60% of Wellesley families receive grant aid, so they don’t pay the full cost of tuition. Last year, we awarded $83 million in need-based financial aid, most of it in grants and scholarships that never need to be repaid. The average annual grant award was $65,500.

So: The cost of a Wellesley education is a number, but it’s not a barrier. The value of the experience—the community, the skills, the hard-won confidence, the expanding sense of possibility—is infinite.
