Financial Aid


Dear Student, 

Fiona Davenport 

Fiona Davenport,
Financial Aid Officer 

Here at Westminster, every effort is made to keep student
expenses as low as possible. Because of gifts from friends of
the seminary, students pay only a portion of the real cost of their education.

However, we understand that the cost of obtaining a quality education is still significant. Therefore, our goal is to provide financial assistance to those students who, without such assistance, would be unable to benefit from a Westminster education.

We are here to help you. Please let us be a resource as you consider the types of financial aid available to Westminster students.

May God bless you as you seek to be a wise steward of His gifts.

The Financial Aid Office
