THANKYOU! YOURSUPPORTISESSENTIAL. Whittier College is a vibrant, residential, four-year liberal ar ts institution, where intellectual inquiry and experiential learning are fostered in a community that promotes respect for diversity of thought and culture.

Whittier College remains committed to providing all students with the means to afford a quality education. With a majority of our undergraduates receiving some kind of financial assistance in order to continue their education, Whittier donors play an instrumental role in underwriting scholarship and fellowship suppor t each year.

Our donors - individuals, foundations and organizations - place a high value on a Whittier College education. An endowment gift is an especially impor tant investment in our students because the funds generate a dedicated stream of ongoing suppor t each year.

When endowed gifts are made, they exist in perpetuity and often honor or memorialize a cherished family member, professor, or coach.

Generous Whittier College suppor ters, many of whom have been scholarship recipients themselves, know that providing suppor t to the next generation is essential to creating extraordinary outcomes for Whittier Students.

We thank you for all you do.
