Our students hail from nearly every state in the nation and about 80 countries around the world. Talented, ambitious, and intelligent, they come to WPI to learn on our beautiful New England campus in state-of-the-art labs and facilities with world-class scholars. Undergraduate and graduate students alike benefit from a project-enriched, hands-on technical and scientific experience—enhanced by the humanities and the arts—on their way to becoming leading engineers, entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers, and problem solvers.
Alumni and friends provide the critical resources that allow WPI to compete for and attract bright, deserving students, regardless of their financial circumstances. Ninety percent of our students qualify for some form of financial assistance. Scholarships and financial aid packages are essential for ensuring a diverse cohort of talented students from every background and tradition. Fellowships, awards, and stipends will help attract outstanding graduate students who are essential to our research mission and who enrich the educational environment immeasurably. Moreover, if we supplement the cost of tuition and fees, our students will graduate with less debt, making it easier for them to take full advantage of their professional careers.
