For admitted first-year students the Whittier Admission GPA (9th - 11th grade weighted GPA) is considered. For admitted transfer students the cumulative college GPA is considered.
John Greenleaf Whittier Scholarships are renewable for four years and will range from $10,000 to $30,000 per year.

International students are eligible for jobs on campus through an institutional work-study program (if funds are available). International students are legally restricted from working off-campus, except when it is an internship related to their major.
