Whitman College caps tuition at 10% of family income

Whitman College is introducing a new tuition model called the "10% Promise," which caps tuition at 10% of a family's income for all four years of study. This initiative aims to make higher education more affordable and accessible, particularly for middle-income families who may not qualify for traditional aid but still struggle with the high cost of college. The program is set to be fully available for students enrolling in fall 2027, with Whitman College hoping to alleviate the financial burden that often accompanies a college degree. AI
