You may also be eligible for additional financial support through our endowed scholarships, alumni/sibling scholarships, participation scholarships, and need-based awards.
Grants
Grants are awarded to those students who demonstrate financial need. Grants are available through Westminster College as well as the state of Missouri and the federal government. To be considered for a need-based grant, you must complete your FAFSA application.

There are a variety of federal and private loans available to students/families. Our goal is to help you understand your options so that you can make the choice that is right for you.

At Westminster, we salute our military men and women and offer numerous benefits for those who serve. As a member of the ROTC, you are eligible to apply for a full-tuition scholarship that also covers fees, books, and some living expenses.
