Student Charges
A non-profit corporation, Westmont receives gifts and contributions to help keep costs down. Donations from individuals, churches, and businesses make up the balance and allow the college to offer many types of financial aid.
The charges listed below apply to the 2008-2009 academic year. Charges and financial policies are subject to annual change by the board of trustees.
If you have received a Federal student or parent loan, you have 14 days from the date it was placed on your account to cancel or reduce it. Contact Sue Schaefer in our Financial Aid Office at sschaefe@westmont.edu to make a change.

In addition to book costs and student charges, the financial aid budget also takes into account each year an estimated amount for transportation ($756/yr) and personal expenses ($2,214/yr). Therefore, the larger financial aid budget may result in higher need for financial aid awarding purposes.
