Know now, stress less!

When it comes to choosing a college, we know that cost plays a big role. At Whitman College, we're committed to making the financial aid process easier and less confusing. We'll be as transparent as possible to help you make the best decision for you and your family.

That's why we're offering  Whitman’s Early Financial 援助 Guarantee—so you don't have to wait until you are admitted to start thinking about the cost. In fact, you can find out before you even apply!

Whitman’s innovative approach to financial aid was even featured in 的 New York Times!

With this early guarantee, you can see how much money in scholarships and financial aid you’ll be awarded from Whitman if you are admitted. 

We’re happy to give you and your family extra time to see if Whitman works for you.
