2024 Wells Scholarships

Wells net price is at $20,259.00 per year and will likely continue climbing like all colleges around the U.S. There are various ways to combat the steep rises in college tuition, and scholarships can be a key ingredient in reducing the overall cost of Wells College. Wells awards an average of $27,000.00 to each student, which can help alleviate some of the financial burden.
