Whitman awards four-year renewable merit-based scholarships of up to $35,000 to applicants who have excelled academically.

Once you are offered a merit scholarship, you will continue to receive the same merit award throughout each of your four years at Whitman. If you are enrolled less than full-time in any year, your scholarship amount will be prorated based on the number of credits you take.

The Garrett-Sherwood Scholarships are awarded to exceptional applicants who exhibit outstanding academic achievement, leadership and contributions to their schools and communities.

While at Whitman, recipients have the opportunity to attend special socials, networking receptions, roundtables and fellowship information sessions. They also travel to New York City for career exploration, meeting alumni leaders in business, finance, media, culture and government to build professional connections.

This scholarship is awarded to an incoming student who has financial need and demonstrates high academic achievement and talent in the fine arts, performing arts or humanities. The Eells Scholarship covers tuition and fees for four years and includes a research grant.
