Visit Scholarship Program
At Whitman College, we value the diverse perspectives and experiences that our students bring to campus. Our Visit Scholarship Program (VSP) is by invitation only and offers students from historically marginalized communities an all-expenses paid trip to Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. Students should expect to visit our campus during one of our special visit days and stay through the weekend.
VSP is only available for students living within the U.S., regardless of immigration status.
Students must have a current TSA-approved form of identification if flying.
What to Expect
VSP students will receive additional information regarding their flight or travel itineraries, what to pack and a full schedule for their weekend visit prior to their visit.
