We Are Wily
The Wily Network serves Boston area students who are navigating college without a safety net. Wily partners with Scholars throughout their college experiences, working with them to manage challenges and celebrate successes at each stage of their educational journeys.
Wily helps students identify and achieve their academic, professional, and life goals through:
- clinical coaching
- financial support
- community building
- professional development

Wily’s Scholar Services
The Wily Network’s program is made up of three pillars:
- Clinical Coaching: Scholars build individualized, long-term, supportive relationships with their coach
- Financial Resources: Scholars are supported through the college financial aid process, receive a monthly stipend, and more
- Community Building & Networking: Scholars develop a supportive community and build social capital

Support the Wily Pack
Students navigating college independently face a variety of systemic barriers, and it can be difficult to access everything college has to offer. Wily provides students with tangible and intangible benefits to fill these gaps and provide a supportive partnership during their college experience.
You can help Wily provide these additional resources so Scholars can focus on what they came to school to do: get their degrees.
![Saffron Testimonial "The Wily Network does not do everything for us. What the Wily Network does is help Scholars manage the noise and provide us support and care, so we can focus on what we came to school to do: get our degrees. Being a Wily Scholar has helped me develop the tools, networks, and skills to leave college the same way I started – with a very bright future ahead of me.” Testimonial by Saffron, Wily alum, MIT ‘20](https://cdn.statically.io/img/i0.wp.com/thewilynetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Saffron-testimonial.png?resize=800%2C533&ssl=1)

I met the Wily Network through my volunteer role with the Cummings Foundation. Why I think so highly of Wily: the incredible energy in the room when we met, including students, staff and board members; the importance of the work saving lives one extraordinary person at a time; and the deeply thoughtful model that combines what volunteers do well with professional coaching.
