The amount of your scholarship depends on how
much need you demonstrate and the year you entered Whitman. We use award charts
that establish a specific percentage of scholarship and grant funds at various
need levels. However, the needs and goals of the college change periodically,
so the award charts also change from year to year. This means that different
award charts may be used for different entering classes, but the chart used for
one entering class is used for that class throughout its four years at Whitman.
Therefore, three students who all have the same computed need could have
different amounts of gift aid awarded to them if they entered Whitman in three
different years.
