<p>"If wealthy, prestigious colleges are increasingly serving the nation’s privileged elite, then Allison Bellew is not the type of student you would expect to find on the campus of one of those institutions.</p>

<p>She spent most of her childhood in foster care in Southern California and attended a public school in Los Angeles where more than two-thirds of the students qualified for the federal school-lunch program.</p>

<p>But like many students looking at colleges far from home, Ms. Bellew wanted a place totally different from where she grew up. That search led her here, to the hills of western Massachusetts, to what has become in some ways a haven for financially needy students like her: Smith College</p>
