Overview of the Financial Assistance Process:

In addition to the many tuition reduction benefits we offer, all families are welcome to apply for financial assistance through our third part application called FAST.

All new and current families enrolled in Westminster are welcome to apply for financial aid each year. Financial aid is based on eligibility and availability. To access the financial aid application, click here.
Current Westminster families are given priority to apply for financial assistance between Oct 1-31 for the following school year. After October 31, all financial assistance applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis.
Families who complete the FAST application for financial assistance will also be considered for a GOAL scholarship. Please keep in mind that certain additional requirements must be met to qualify for a GOAL scholarship (see here). If awarded, the GOAL scholarship will be specified in the enrollment contracts.
Arete is an additional needs-based scholarship program that Westminster participates in. Families who would like to be considered for an Arete scholarship will need to apply to Arete separately and can do so here. All current Arete scholarship recipients will need to apply each year and will receive instructions from Arete on how to do so. If you receive an Arete scholarship, adjustments will be made to your billing at that time.
Families who qualify for the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship will need to apply separately and can do so here. Families who receive the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship will have the funds sent directly to Westminster and will be applied towards their tuition.
Current families will receive their financial assistance package when they activate their tuition management accounts in January.
New families will receive their financial assistance package upon receipt of their enrollment contract.

Important Dates:

Oct 1`- Oct 31: Financial Aid Applications Open for Current Westminster Families
