Whitworth University is one of the best higher-education values in the Western United States. We're ranked No. 4 among 121 regional universities in the West in U.S. News & World Report's 2012 ranking of best values. We're also No. 38 on Kiplinger's ranking of the top 100 private university values in the United States; this is the sixth year in a row that Whitworth has made this selective national list.

The rankings recognize our strong commitments to academic quality and financial aid. These commitments, along with small class sizes and a supportive campus community, exceptional teaching, and thorough career and graduate school preparation, ensure that Whitworth students get an excellent return on their investment.

Here are a few more reasons Whitworth is a great value:

• 85% of Whitworth's graduates finish in four years
• More than 98 percent of Whitworth freshmen receive financial aid
• The average freshman financial aid award from all sources is $27,856

We invite you to work through the financial aid process with us. Our financial aid staff welcomes your questions and is happy to provide information and counsel at any time. When families use our financial aid/net price calculator, many find that their cost to attend Whitworth is comparable to the other institutions, both public and private, they may consider.
