BLACK ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SUPPORT FUND

Your support of the Whittier College Black Alumni Association (WCBAA) Support Fund is an excellent opportunity to join an affinity group that is making a difference in the lives of the students identifying as black. Your gift to the Black Alumni Association Support Fund goes towards need-based and merit scholarships, and cultural events. 

For a fourth year, we are proud to provide four merit-based scholarships. Please join us in congratulating this year’s awardees: Jardon Quarterman (Sr.), Haley Hughes-Gill (Sr.), Naia Watkins (So.), and Gabriel Collazo (Jr.) for their academic success.

During this year's Big Poet Give, the first $6,000 directed to the Black Alumni Association (WCBAA) Support Fund will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to the generosity of alumni leaders Harold Allen '84 and Stephanie Wiggins '92.
