Student Success

Your contribution to student success, whether through financial aid, emergency assistance, or well-being support, ensures that our students have the financial and emotional support and resources they need to thrive.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

Our students dream big and use their WPI education to realize those dreams. For some, a WPI education itself is the dream. While we met 80% of our students’ needs in the past year, there is more to do. With your help, we can go further. Your gift to financial aid has a direct impact, working to eliminate financial barriers for tomorrow’s global problem solvers, innovators, and leaders.

Emergency Assistance Fund

At times, students may encounter financial challenges that make maintaining focus on their education extremely difficult or impossible. To support these students, WPI established the Emergency Assistance Fund, which provides funding to students for essential expenses such as housing, medical bills, and food. Your gift to the Emergency Assistance Fund can directly support students in need, allowing them to keep their attention on the dreams that brought them to WPI.

Center for Well-being Programs

WPI’s Center for Well-Being (CWB) is a hub for cross-functional campus efforts aimed at improving student, community, and campus well-being through evidence-based practices, coordinated initiatives, the support of student and faculty research, and strategic visioning. The CWB is a supportive and safe space to gather, relax, reflect, and recharge.

The Center provides a range of programs and services including mental health awareness training for students, faculty, and staff, peer advocacy, education and support, wellness programming, and support for academic initiatives to promote well-being. Your gift to support these programs will help foster a campus culture that values and embraces the overall well-being of each member of the WPI community.


Your Gift in Action

“Attending WPI honestly means everything to me. To be able to have such hands-on experience as an undergrad is amazing.

“I knew I wanted to go to WPI when I was in 9th grade. When senior year came, I was worried not only about getting in, but also about how I was going to afford it. I was elated when I got accepted, but the happiest moment of my life was when I found out I got a scholarship and would be able to afford to go to my dream school.“
