Support Whittier
Scholarships
One of the most important gifts that can be made to Whittier College is in support of student scholarships. Each year, hundreds of talented students who could not otherwise afford to attend Whittier College are assisted by generous donors through the John Greenleaf Whittier Society. Alumni, parents, friends and organizations who contribute $15,000 or more to the Whittier Fund in a fiscal year are paired with a deserving student who will receive a one-year scholarship the following academic year in the donor’s name or in the name of someone the donor designates.
