Westminster Academy has established a Financial Assistance Program to assist Christian families who have a genuine financial need and are unable to afford the full cost of tuition. Westminster Academy encourages families with limited means to apply for assistance. Students must first be accepted into Westminster Academy, and their enrollment fee must be paid in full.
The school expects families who apply to make significant adjustments to the use of discretionary resources and lifestyle choices. The Financial Assistance Committee will require evidence that a family’s commitment to their child’s Christian education is a priority over ancillary lifestyle choices. Financial Assistance Program awards when combined with other sources of financial assistance, will not exceed 75% of tuition.
Financial assistance is offered in the form of annual awards to full-time students entering kindergarten through the twelfth grade. The amount of the awards is determined based on an evaluation of the applicant’s financial need by the Financial Assistance Committee (a sub-committee of the School Board). The school uses a third-party company, FACTS Grant & Aid, to assist in assessing needs. The number of qualified applicants often exceeds the financial assistance resources of the school so early application is encouraged.
