Cost Overview
Most Whitman families pay around $35,506 annually after financial aid, not the $77,532 sticker price. Low-income students with family earnings under $30,000 pay just $19,307 per year. Middle-class families earning $75,000-$110,000 still get substantial breaks, paying $27,829 annually. Over four years, expect to invest roughly $142,000 total.
Whitman keeps debt manageable despite its liberal arts premium. Graduates leave with a median debt of $18,437, translating to monthly payments of $195. That's reasonable when compared to the $67,589 median salary ten years post-graduation. The college's 93% loan repayment rate reflects graduates' ability to handle their obligations.
The best deal goes to high-achieving students from lower-income families. With 30% of students receiving institutional grants averaging $32,047, Whitman rewards academic talent regardless of family wealth. Students from wealthy families pay nearly the full freight at $47,254 annually.
