Windows on Williams is a selective, fully-funded program open to high school students in the U.S. and Puerto Rico who will be seniors in the fall of 2025. Preference is given to high-achieving students who couldn’t otherwise afford to visit Williams.
WOW participants stay in dorms with current students, attend classes, meet with professors and learn about our admission process and extraordinary All-Grant Financial Aid program. Williams will pay for and arrange transportation to campus and cover all additional expenses including meals and overnight hosting in a dorm.
The fall 2025 WOW dates are Sunday, September 28 to Tuesday, September 30. We recognize these dates may not work for any number of reasons, including school commitments or other conflicts. If you’re interested in learning more about Williams outside of WOW, you can do so on our website and through some of our virtual programming.
Apply by August 1 and receive your decision by August 31. There are two ways to apply:
- You may complete the full WOW application form OR
- If you have applied to the QuestBridge College Prep Scholars (CPS) program, you can use that application instead.
Either way, your starting point will be this application form.
