Outside Scholarships

We highly encourage all Whitman OCS students to apply to all outside scholarships for which they may be eligible to help make off-campus studies more affordable.

Receiving an outside scholarship will not reduce a student’s Whitman financial aid, except in the rare cases in which the student’s combined Whitman financial aid and outside scholarship exceeds the COA (cost of attendance) for their off-campus studies program.

OCS Program Scholarships

Most study abroad program providers offer need-based aid, and some offer merit scholarships as well. It is not uncommon for students who receive need-based aid at Whitman to receive additional aid from their program in amounts ranging from $500 to $2000 if they apply for program aid.

Please see your OCS program’s website (under Financial Aid or Scholarships) for details about how to apply and award amounts.

Whitman students interested in applying for a national scholarship should contact their Whitman OCS adviser for assistance.
