26-27 Appeal for Financial Aid
Loading...
In certain situations, a request for additional funds from Westminster to help cover the cost of tuition is warranted. If you have questions, or wish to set up an appointment to discuss your unique circumstances, please contact the
Financial Aid Office
.
It is important to understand that if you qualify for Federal Financial Aid, we may review items that would be helpful to see if you qualify for additional funds in grants or subsidized loans from the federal government. If you do not qualify for any additional Federal Financial Aid, you may be considered for additional Westminster institutional aid.
Once the Financial Aid Office receives your appeal, the committee will review your request and email a decision within one week.
Additional fields may populate as answers are selected. All fields are required.
The last day to complete this form for the 2026-2027 academic year is Friday April 28, 2027.
