Biographical Information

Student Type*

First-Year

Transfer

How many semesters do you anticipate needing at Whitman to complete your degree?* (Your exact transfer credit eligibility will be determined after you have officially applied for admission.)

Primary Citizenship*

While Canadian students may be able to utilize loans from their provinces to fund their education, Whitman does not include a loan expectation in financial aid offers for students from Canada.

Do you attend a United World College?

Yes

When entering what you can contribute below, do not include your Davis United World College Scholarship in that amount. We will include that automatically below in calculating your total financial aid offer.

Please include the total funding you have available (in USD) for the first year of attendance at Whitman College. Please consider all sources of funding, include annual personal income and savings, your immediate family's income and assets, support you will receive from extended family members, and any funding you anticipate from other sources, such as non-profit organizations, government agencies, etc.

Remaining Cost for You to Pay

This offer represents the scholarship you would receive for your first year of study at Whitman College. Please note there is no work expectation in your financial aid offer for the first year; however, in future years, a work expectation would be added to your financial aid offer, meaning that the amount you owe at the start of each semester would increase after your first year to reflect the amount of the work expectation. With this in mind, during your first year at Whitman you will need to find an on-campus job and begin saving some of your earnings to cover this work expectation in future years.

Next Steps

This form is not an official financial aid application. When you apply for admission to Whitman, you will also need to complete the Whitman International Student Financial Aid Application (WISFAA) to officially apply for financial aid. If you indicate a different contribution on the WISFAA than what you entered above, then the amount of your Whitman Scholarship would also change. (You are welcome to enter different amounts above to see how that would impact the scholarship amount.)

Please note that Whitman College practices need-aware admission, which means that your need for financial assistance will be a factor in your admission decision. Last year, Whitman received more than 3,000 applications from international students, most of whom indicated a yearly contribution of less than $10,000 USD and did not have an additional source of funding (such as the Davis United World College scholarship). Fewer than 5% of those students were offered admission.
