Documentation

Documentation of your parent(s) 2023 income and taxes paid
A signed copy of all pages of your parent(s) 2023 income tax statement for your country of residence; if your parents file separately, please send a copy of each parent’s tax return. A signed statement from your parent’s employer(s) documenting their income and benefits for this time period must also be submitted. This should be on the company’s letterhead, translated to English, and in the currency in which they were paid and include an itemization of income, benefits and taxes paid. CLICK HERE to upload your document(s) directly to Williams College Office of Student Financial Services.

Additional Documentation for Some Students

If parents are self-employed
Complete the International Business Supplement if your parents and/or stepparents are self-employed or hold any interest in a business or farm.

If siblings are enrolled in qualifying degree programs, Submit sibling enrollment information
The number of dependent children enrolled in qualifying degree programs significantly affects the calculation of your parent contribution. In most cases, if one or more of your siblings is enrolled in an undergraduate program, your parent contribution will be less than if only you are enrolled at Williams. If you have a sibling whose undergraduate plans are undecided when you complete your financial aid application, please update us in writing as soon as possible with his or her final plans. Also, update us in writing as soon as possible if your sibling changes his or her enrollment status during the academic year. In your update, we will need the following information for any sibling who decides to enroll in an undergraduate program:

  • Name of institution to be attended
  • Itemized cost of attendance (i.e., tuition, fees, room, board, etc.)
  • Amount of grant, scholarship, and/or stipend awarded
