Pros and Cons for the Financial Aid Policy

The financial aid for Wellesley is based solely on need. So in return there isn't a whole lot of help with finding scholarships outside of the college and merits scholarships aren't offered from the college. The Office of International Studies is very helpful in finding scholarships for study abroad outside of the Wellesley College.

Poor and Making It

Even when my package my second year came up a little short, Wellesley listened to my reasoning and made all my troubles go away. Very much appreciated.
