Emergency Funding Request for Whitman Students

The Whitman School of Management is committed to supporting our students and their academic pursuits. Whitman has created an emergency fund to support unforeseen hardships that cannot be funded through other means. Funding is prioritized by the level of hardship, urgency of the situation, and financial need. Students must be actively enrolled to be considered.
