Whitworth has established a strong financial
aid program to assist students and their families to meet the cost of
their education. You don't necessarily have to be in a low-income category
to qualify for financial aid. Some students may receive scholarships based
upon academic standing, while others receive grants in the form of partial
tuition remission, based on their demonstrated need. Need is the difference
between what it costs to attend the program and what the student can afford
to pay.
Types of Aid Available:
- Government sponsored loans and work-study for U.S.
citizens. These include Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans, Federal Unsubsidized
Stafford Loans, and Federal and State Work Study. Awards are determined
after submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
form.
- Master of International Management (MIM) Degree-sponsored aid. These
include grants, scholarships, and institutional work study (U.S. Citizens
and International students).
- Private scholarships. Various businesses, clubs
and non-profit organizations offer scholarships to individuals, and
many companies offer tuition remission programs for educational pursuits.
Please visit your local library or www.fastweb.com
for more information about available scholarships.
Master of International Management Degree-Sponsored Aid:
- MIM grants, in the form of a percentage of tuition remission, are
based upon financial need. The basic formula to determine eligibility
for need-based aid is:

For educational costs, please see the Estimated Budget.
The Financial Aid Committee will determine what the amount of the financial
aid award should be and then send a written award notice to the student
which shows the type and amounts of aid the student is to receive for
the academic year.
- Scholarships are also available to MIM students and awarded on a
competitive basis. They are based upon need and/or academic merit.
- In addition, Whitworth University provides the opportunity for graduate
assistantships and institutional work.study. If you are eligible for
institutional work, you have the option of finding a job on campus.
If you are interested in doing so, the Student Employment Office will
help you to find a position. A job is not guaranteed, however on-campus
employment could provide an opportunity to earn up to the amount specified
on your award notice.
