<p>Are there any merit based scholarships at Wellesley? I don't qualify for financial aid but I feel bad for asking my parents to pay for everything :( Thank you! xxx</p>
<p>I believe Wellesley’s financial aid is primarily need-based.</p>
<p>No, Wellesley does not provide merit based scholarships.</p>
<p>Thank you for your replies! I guess I just have to find another way to repay them then

<p>Smith and Mount Holyoke have merit based awards.</p>
<p>itsjanexx was accepted to Wellesley ED, so it appears it is too late for her to consider Smith and Mount Holyoke.</p>
<p>Unless your parents earn over 200k per year you might be eligible for financial aid.</p>
<p>And if they earn more than 200k per year they are among the top 3% of households by income in the country, so they might actually be able to afford college for you.</p>
<p>fendrock- Sorry, but I see nothing regarding ED acceptance for the
OP. Congrats to her. I was simply trying to address her concern re $$'s
and pointing out a couple quality options. </p>
