Students will have the opportunity to receive academic and talent scholarships in addition to need-based financial aid.
Every admitted student is automatically considered for a John Greenleaf Whittier Scholarship, which ranges from $20,000 to $36,000 a year, and is renewable for up to four years of continuous study at Whittier. The JGW scholarship is awarded based on the academic record and overall strength of the applicant to the college. Notification of the scholarship is sent upon admission to Whittier College.
All students can apply for Creative Arts Scholarships in the areas of Art, Film, Music, Theatre, and Writing.
Eligible students can apply for and receive additional financial aid via the California Dream Act.
Students with a work permit are also eligible to receive institutional work-study (if funds are available) which allows students to pursue on campus employment.
