Campus Visit Travel Reimbursement
We know that the best possible way to learn whether Whitworth is a good college fit for you is to visit campus. We also know that travel isn't cheap and some families may need financial assistance to make a campus visit possible.
We are committed to reimbursing a significant amount of travel expenses for every admitted high school senior and transfer student who participate in a full-day or overnight visit event following their admission for fall 2023.
Travel reimbursements are available in the following amounts:

| Washington (other than Greater Spokane region) | $150 |
| Oregon and S. Idaho | $250 |
| Ariz., Calif., Colo., Mont., Nev., N.M., Utah & Wyo. | $350 |
| All other U.S. states and International Countries | $500 |
