Talent Scholarships

Whittier College offers Talent Scholarships valued from $1,000 to $12,000 in art, music, and theatre. Talent Scholarships are awarded to students by the academic departments based on a separate application and supplemental materials (auditions for theater and music, and a portfolio for art). A student does not have to major or minor in the subject, only maintain involvement with the department while they are a student at Whittier College. Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity for any student who is looking into the liberal arts and is planning on continuing their participation in art, music, or theater. More information for each department’s requirements is below, in addition to the applications. If you have any questions, please contact David Laine in the Office of Admission at (562) 907-4238 or dlaine@whittier.edu.

Please know that it is possible to qualify for both a talent scholarship and academic merit scholarship but the combined maximum cannot go beyond $20,000.
