Financial Aid & Costs
Invest in Your Future
Your college education will be one of the most important investments of time and money you will ever make—and we are committed to making a Whitman education as affordable for you as possible. That’s why Whitman offers a comprehensive financial aid program that includes scholarships, grants, employment and loans.
Making College More Affordable & Financial Aid Easier
At Whitman College, making college more affordable is a top priority. We provide generous need-based aid that can cover the entire cost of tuition and even more! Additionally, we award merit- and talent-based scholarships to students who have excelled in academics or outside activities. We understand the financial aid process can feel daunting, which is why we prioritize demystifying this process.
