Windows on Williams Summer Opportunity

The 2024 Windows on Williams (WOW) application is now available for rising seniors. The WOW fly-in program provides about 150 high-achieving seniors a fully funded opportunity to visit campus and experience the Williams community. WOW is a selective program open to rising seniors in the U.S. and Puerto Rico; 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 our extraordinary financial aid program. There are two ways to apply:

  • Students may complete the full WOW application form, including a high school transcript (screenshots or pictures of the transcript are accepted) and an essay submitted for an English or social science class during the 2023-2024 academic school year
  • Students who applied to the QuestBridge College Prep Scholars (CPS) program can re-use that application for WOW

Please encourage your students to apply using this link by August 1, and feel free to contact us with any questions.
