President’s letter to the editor published in New York Times

Wellesley holds meeting to discuss admission and aid policy for undocumented students

Following the presidential Election, campus policies regarding undocumented students have been a common topic of conversation around Wellesley College. As a response, Wellesley Dean of Admission and Financial Aid, Joy St. John held a town hall meeting on Thursday, Nov. 17th to discuss Wellesley’s admission and financial aid policies for undocumented students. While Wellesley legally cannot allocate federal financial aid dollars to undocumented students, the College funds 100% of demonstrated need by all students, regardless of their citizenship. Undocumented students, along with International students, receive financial aid from grant dollars and institutional funds. A full interview with St. John regarding Wellesley’s efforts to address these concerns can be found on Wellesley’s website under the ‘2016 Stories’ tab.
