Whitman International Student Financial Aid Application (WISFAA)

At Whitman, we want you to know what to expect in terms of costs for the next four years. Because Whitman meets 100% of financial need for international students, you can be confident that the amount you indicate you are able to contribute to the cost of your Whitman education for each year will be the amount we expect you to contribute. You will not need to re-submit this form in future years.

We do understand that financial circumstances are subject to change. If your family experiences a significant change in your financial circumstances after you have enrolled at Whitman College, our Financial Aid Office will work with you to understand your situation, gather supporting documentation, and provide additional financial assistance if necessary.

Do you wish to be considered for need-based financial aid from Whitman College?

Yes

The form must be filled out accurately to the best of your knowledge. We understand that your financial circumstances may change in the next several months. Please inform us of any changes as soon as possible. If you are offered admission to Whitman and choose to enroll, Whitman will verify your finances prior to issuing a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019), which is required for study in the United States. If you have failed to provide accurate information in this form, you may be unable to receive a visa.

We will update your application to reflect that you do NOT wish to be considered for need-based financial aid. You will NOT be eligible to apply for need-based aid during your four years at Whitman College. You will still be considered for merit-based scholarships. If you are offered admission and choose to enroll at Whitman College, we will verify your financial information prior to issuing your Certificate of Eligibility for your student visa.
