Each year, Westminster has numerous mission-fit families who desire a classical, Christian education for their children but find themselves in a difficult financial position that places our school just out of reach. For this reason, we recognize the vital importance of offering financial assistance to families who otherwise would not be able to afford a distinctly classical and Christian education.
For the current school year, roughly 10% of our operational budget has been set aside to support families who apply for financial aid. This represents 23% of our total student population. It is impossible to imagine Westminster without these children and families.
Every donation given to Westminster Gives will go to replenish monies awarded to like-minded and mission-fit families.
We know that all of our families have a choice when it comes to giving to their favorite institutions. We are grateful you would consider our school in your year-end giving.
We are also thankful you have entrusted us with your child’s education. We know the choice to partner with us is an investment. We trust this investment is truly an investment in their future. Thank you for choosing us; your enrollment in our school and your donation to our financial aid program signifies your confidence in Westminster as a school worthy of your trust and investment.
