Wellesley College has reached a significant milestone by becoming the first higher education institution in the U.S. to exceed an annual attendance cost of $100,000. For the upcoming fall semester, the total cost for attendance will amount to $100,541, which includes both direct and indirect expenses. Despite this high figure, Wellesley maintains that it meets the full financial need of enrolled students and works to keep education accessible. High costs reflect a broader trend among elite institutions, although many students do not pay the full sticker price due to financial aid and other support.
"Wellesley College is the first higher ed institution in the nation to hit the $100,000 annual sticker price, making it the most expensive college in the country."
"We meet 100% of the calculated need for all students and are committed to making education accessible, with many not paying the sticker price."
