If you're an undocumented student or have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, you're welcome as part of the Williams community. We consider the applications of all undocumented and DACA-designated students without regard to ability to pay, and meet 100 percent of each admitted student’s demonstrated financial need for their entire career at Williams.
We know that applying for financial aid can be overwhelming. If you have questions at any time, please contact Director of Financial Aid Ashley Bianchi. Ashley supports undocumented students and their families throughout the financial aid process and their time at Williams.
