Our Scholarships

The Wellesley Scholarship Foundation’s (WSF's) goal is to ensure that every Wellesley youth can pursue his or her dream of a college education. Our primary focus is upon need-based scholarships.

Did You Know?

• $ 4.9 million in scholarships have been awarded to over 3,300 worthy students from Wellesley since WSF's inception in 1951.
  
• $ 248,250 need-based scholarships to 78 high school graduates was provided by WSF in June 2014.
• The need for scholarships is growing – Wellesley’s school population is increasing, college costs are rising and student debt is soaring.  Last year, WSF recipients were faced with demonstrated unmet financial need of over $800,400.
• Your donations go directly to students; our administrative expenses are minimal. WSF is a non-profit organization, run by skilled volunteers with backgrounds in investment management, accounting, law, fundraising and general management.
• WSF’s scholarships are sourced through annual funding appeals and income from our endowment.
• Over 20 named scholarship awards in memory of respected town leaders, teachers, coaches and town residents exist at WSF.
