Reunion Class Projects
This year’s reunion class philanthropy projects focus on providing broad support with maximum impact—helping today’s Wesleyan students, right now.-
Financial Aid
Our annual financial aid budget is $75 million, and the percentage of students on grant aid increased from 41% to 46% this year. Starting in the fall of 2024, Wesleyan no longer includes loans as part of its financial aid packages and will meet all students’ demonstrated financial need without the burden of borrowing. Your gifts to current-use financial aid will go to work immediately to support today’s students.

Student Belonging
Regardless of identity, students should have a safe, equitable, and empowering experience at Wesleyan. Your gift to student belonging will fuel the programs that help students feel connected with each other and their community. It will support areas like cultural programming, social engagement and events, and resources around mental wellness and thriving. Classes participating in this Class Project -
First-Generation Student Support
16% of our student body are the first in their families to go to college, which is the largest group we’ve had at Wesleyan. Your gift supports direct investments in the success of first-generation students – from cohort experiences and programs to tangible start-up support for things like laptops and dorm room essentials.
