Whittier Now! for the Whittier Fund

ONE DAY. ONE PURPOSE. WHITTIER NOW!

This year’s Big Poet Give will support students through the Whittier Now! initiative. Whittier Now! for the Whittier Fund sustains the personalized liberal arts experience that is the hallmark of a Whittier College education.

Scholarships to bridge the financial gap.
Institutional investments that create challenging, interactive learning experiences with modern classrooms, teaching and research labs, information technology, and living-learning spaces.
Faculty retention and research opportunities.
Investments in Wardman Library, the College's intellectual hub, which meets critical research, curricular, and information technology needs.
Support for academic and extracurricular programs.

Your gift to Whittier Now! for the Whittier Fund helps sustain the highly personalized residential liberal arts experience that has transformed so many lives throughout our 137-year history.
