Get to know Williams Academics ▸ Become a partner in the process of discovery, contributing to knowledge in a supportive environment. Students develop close relationships with their professors, peers and mentors, learning from and with each other through the open exchange of ideas. Access and Affordability ▸ We want students to make the most of their experience here, so we actively work to remove barriers-especially financial ones. We recently expanded our already generous financial aid by replacing loans and work-study requirements with grants that don't have to be repaid-ensuring that a Williams education is truly affordable. Community ▸ In all we do, we aim to be an inclusive learning community in which all can thrive. Our deep commitments to caring, collaboration and dialogue across differences transform how we relate to one another and to the world around us.
