Grants are awarded to those students who demonstrate financial need. Grants are available through Ï㽶ÊÓƵ 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.

Student employment is a great way to help pay for your education. Plus, you meet a lot of great people. If you have been awarded Federal Work-Study or college employment as part of your financial aid, we welcome you to apply for employment at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ.
Military Benefits
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.
