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.

Our Scholarships

Did You Know?

• $6.4 million in scholarships has been awarded to over 3,700 worthy students from Wellesley since WSF’s inception in 1951.
• $340,000 in need-based scholarships was provided to 79 high school graduates by WSF in June 2019.
• 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 $1 million.
• 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.
