The Wellesley Scholarship Foundation offers two merit scholarships:

​

The Donald P. Babson Merit Award is a merit scholarship made possible by a special bequest to the Wellesley Scholarship Foundation, by the Paul and Edith Babson Foundation, to benefit an undergraduate male student with high academic goals.

​

The Margaret E. Daniels Merit Award is a merit scholarship made possible by a special bequest to the Wellesley Scholarship Foundation, and is intended to benefit an undergraduate female student with high academic goals. 

 

Recipients of these scholarships must have plans to obtain a four-year undergraduate degree and consider pursuing studies at the graduate level.  Applicants must be a senior in high school and should demonstrate a superior level of distinction in scholarship, citizenship and character, as well as strong extracurricular interests and activities.  The award is a $3,000 annual scholarship made for each of the four years the student is an undergraduate (for a total of $12,000) assuming continued acceptable academic performance and continued residency in Wellesley.

​

Note:  All applicants and recipients of the Donald P. Babson Merit Award and Margaret Daniels Award must be residents of Wellesley.
