When you apply, and if you are admitted to Westminster College, we automatically consider you for merit-based scholarship and grant awards. Last year’s transfer class was particularly strong. More than 78% of our Fall 2008 entering transfer students received a merit scholarship or grant from Westminster.

Even if you don’t meet the minimum merit aid requirements, there is need-based financial aid available that is awarded on an individual basis to students who have filed the FAFSA and have demonstrated financial need.

Apply. You’ll receive a decision soon after your file is complete. With our rolling admissions process, your application will be considered until we have filled our class and the selection process closes. If there is anything we can do to help make the decision process easier for you please do not hesitate to call your admissions counselors at 800-748-4753 or (801) 832-2200 or financial aid counselors at (801) 832-2500.

Need-based Aid

Undergraduate transfer students can apply for federal, state, and institutional aid programs by completing a FAFSA. Check out information on loans, scholarships, and work study programs for the best options for you. If you are transferring to Westminster College starting fall semester, you will need to complete a FAFSA or a Renewal FAFSA and send it to the Department of Education. Students who are transferring to Westminster starting spring or summer semester and have already completed a FAFSA will need to make sure that Westminster College is listed on their Student Aid Report. If not, call our Financial Aid Office at (801) 832-2500 and we can assist you in electronically adding Westminster to your financial aid application.
