Students who receive outside scholarships will generally not see any effect on their need-based aid offered by Whitman. However, if a student has a small federal need, the student may have to borrow unsubsidized Stafford Loans rather than a subsidized Stafford Loan.
For example: Justin's federal need is $6000. Justin has received $4000 in need-based scholarship, $1500 in subsidized Stafford Loan and $500 in employment opportunity. Justin receives a scholarship from his high school for $2000. Since all of Justin's federal need is now being met with scholarship, he may no longer borrow subsidized Stafford Loan. Justin may, however, borrow an unsubsidized Stafford Loan and work on campus through Whitman student employment.
