As a national model in providing access to higher education to students of all backgrounds, Whittier is committed to ensuring that access is matched by affordability.

The generosity of donors like you plays a big role in managing the cost of tuition, allowing our students to focus on making the most of their time at Whittier. Your gift supporting scholarships is an investment in the talented Whittier students who are shaping our world. With your support, we can continue to offer the unique and transformational educational experiences that make Whittier so special.
