The rankings help families find colleges and universities "that deliver the goods during tough times," according to Kiplinger's senior associate editor Jane Bennett Clark, who goes on to say that "These institutions... provide a topquality education at an affordable price - usually with generous financial aid."
"To be ranked three years in a row among some of the best private universities in the country is a great indicator of Whitworth's commitment to academic excellence and financial aid," says Fred Pfursich, vice president for admissions and financial aid at Whitworth. "In the current economic climate, it's more important than ever for students to know that a Whitworth education is a great value and an outstanding investment in their futures."
