Tuition Assistance

The Board of Westminster understands paying tuition for a high-quality classical and Christian education can be a burden on many families. Sometimes the burden is simply more than a family’s finances will permit. Because Westminster is committed to being and remaining a school for families with varying financial resources, we maintain a generous financial aid program.

Statement of Tuition Philosophy
Westminster is committed to maintaining tuition at a level that is both affordable for Westminster families and financially responsible for the school.
Westminster seeks to keep tuition affordable for Westminster families by committing (i) to sponsor a generous financial aid program and (ii) to spend tuition dollars only on expenses that the Westminster Board considers to be essential to the providing of an excellent classical and Christian education.  Expenses that are not essential to but may supplement our core educational mission will be funded only through Westminster giving programs or special, non-mandatory fees.

Tuition Assistance Process

  1. Tuition assistance applications are to be completed on-line through FAST by January 9th. Click here to apply on-line.
  2. Once the applications have been completed online, FAST will provide Westminster with a report including award amount recommendations.
  3. The Tuition Assistance Committee (TAC) will review the recommendations and make final award decisions.
  4. Award amounts are then reported to families confidentially.
  5. To discuss your Financial Award, families will have until January 26th to schedule an appointment with the Head of School, through Karen Eddins.
  6. Families then have two weeks after meeting with the Head of School to decide whether or not to accept the award and register for the following school year.
