How does Whitman College support international students with scholarships?

I'm considering applying to Whitman College and was wondering how international students might receive scholarships there. Are there specific scholarships, or is financial aid available for international applicants?

Whitman College is one of the schools that offer need-based financial aid for international students, without merit-based scholarships specifically for international students. Admissions to Whitman College for international students are "need-aware", meaning that they consider an applicant's financial need during the application review process.

While financial aid is not as extensive as it is for domestic students, Whitman still offers aid packages that can offset the costs of tuition, fees, room, and board. When a prospective student applies to Whitman College, they should also submit the CSS Profile, which is used to assess a student's financial need.

Keep in mind, however, that Whitman is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated need for admitted students. So, if admitted, you can expect to receive a financial aid package that covers the full cost of attendance based on your family's financial circumstances.

Lastly, as an international student, you're encouraged to seek external scholarships in your home country as well, as these can supplement the financial aid package you receive from Whitman College. Remember that the more sources of funding you can gather, the better positioned you'll be to manage your finances in college. Good luck with your application!
