• How to Apply for Financial Aid

  Westminster uses Clarity to process our financial aid applications. Clarity provides a quick, user-friendly application that is mobile-compatible. In addition to the application, parents are required to sign and submit IRS form 4506-T so Clarity can verify their tax information. Based on the financial information families provide, Clarity will use a standard calculation to determine an estimated amount that families can contribute toward educational expenses. Westminster's financial aid team uses this estimation as a starting point for the determination of a fair and objective financial aid award.
  
  

  Steps to Apply

  • Indicate that you will be applying for financial aid on your application for admission.
  • Complete the online application in Clarity by Jan. 15.

• Davis International Scholars Program

  Expanding Perspectives. Connecting Cultures.

  Since 2007, Westminster has participated in the Davis International Scholars Program, a global initiative that promotes cross-cultural understanding and brings exceptional students from around the world to boarding school campuses. The program enriches the Westminster experience by broadening perspectives, fostering meaningful connections, and strengthening our international community.
  
  

  About the Program

  Each year, Westminster supports four to 10 Davis International Scholars—students with exceptional academic ability and leadership potential from countries and regions not typically represented within our student body. Their diverse experiences and perspectives enhance classroom discussions, campus life, and the learning of every member of the Westminster community. In addition to financial support at Westminster, Davis International Scholars are eligible for continued scholarship assistance for up to four years of undergraduate study after graduation.
  
  

  Eligibility

  International applicants entering the Fourth or Fifth Form (grades 10–11) from countries, regions, or populations not typically represented at Westminster are automatically considered for the Davis International Scholars Program. No separate application is required. Students who would like to express interest in the program are welcome to contact the Admissions Office at admit@westminster-school.org.
  
  

  A Global Community

  Since joining the program, Westminster has welcomed Davis International Scholars from more than 20 countries and regions, including: Afghanistan, Austria, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Ghana, Guernsey (Channel Islands), Hungary, Jamaica, Latvia, Malaysia, Moldova, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, Somaliland, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, and Vietnam.
