Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., announced Saturday that students will not pay more than 10 percent of their family’s annual income in tuition.
Students whose families earn $100,000 or less will receive scholarships covering the full cost of tuition, which is $68,692 for the 2026–27 academic year. According to the Whitman 10% Promise calculator, a student whose family earns $150,000 a year would pay no more than $15,000 in tuition. With food, housing and books factored in, their total cost of attendance would be $32,928 per year.
