Nearly 60% of our students receive financial aid. Our average annual scholarship award—which does not need to be repaid—is over $56,000. One result: We’re more accessible, more diverse in all kinds of ways, and therefore more capable of enlightening each other and doing innovative, productive things together. Another result: Our students graduate with an average debt load far below the national average—a liberating feeling. For more: www.wellesley.edu/SFS.
