JOURNEY FORWARD WITH THE WHITTIER FUND
In her State of the College address, President Kristine E. Dillon ’73 emphasized two essential pillars for Whittier’s long-term financial stability: rebuilding enrollment and elevating fundraising. At the heart of both efforts is the Whittier Fund—our most powerful resource for student success.
Your support of the Whittier Fund fuels a transformation that prepares students to thrive in a world that is more connected, uncertain, and full of possibility. It ensures that 100% of our students receive a grant or scholarship, making a Whittier education accessible to all who seek it.
Here’s how your generosity drives impact:
- You open doors and awaken dreams. Every contribution helps fund scholarships that make college affordable and attainable for every student.
- You sustain our academic excellence. With an 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio, Whittier offers personalized learning and mentorship that shape future leaders.
- You connect learning to life. Through innovative programs and real-world experiences, students graduate ready to lead, serve, and make a difference.
- You invest in every student’s success. Your support provides the resources, relationships, and opportunities that empower students to uplift their families and communities.
Together, we’re not just supporting students—we’re shaping changemakers. By journeying forward with the Whittier Fund, you help transform lives, strengthen our college, and build a future where Poets rise to meet the moment.
