<p>Could anybody comment on the genorosity, or lack thereof, of the Whitman Financial Aid department. Also, what Merit awards exist, excluding the talent awards?</p>
<p>Have you applied? </p>
<p>You can request information about the school; I am sure they would gladly send you some. It is my understanding, however, that Whitman is rather generous with people that have strong financial need --and overall, for that matter.</p>
<p>In all honesty, I cannot give you much insight...but I am definitely hoping/counting on Whitman's "generosity." </p>
<p>Good luck:D</p>
<p>Yes, I have applied. I have already received lots of mail-outs from them, but none of them seem to mention anything about Merit Scholarships. I suppose you are correct, I should call the office. Thanks for the response and the "good luck"...same to you</p>
