Four Easy Steps

Apply to Westmont (November 1, Early Action deadline; February 20, Regular Decision deadline). To ensure that the maximum amount of aid is available to you, apply as early as you can in your senior year of high school. You may also wish to attend college fairs or financial aid workshops in your area to gain additional information about community-based scholarships and financial aid.

Step Two

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Complete and submit as soon as possible after January 1. Complete it accurately and promptly because the FAFSA is the key to receiving financial aid. The Westmont code (which you will need to have your FAFSA information forwarded to us) is 001341. The FAFSA is also available from your guidance office or career center.

Step Three

If you are a California resident and graduate of a California high school, and wish to apply for the Cal Grant A or B for the first time, you must file the GPA verification form (available from your guidance office or career center) by March 2. Remember: The deadline for postmarking both the FAFSA and GPA verification form for the 2009-10 academic year is March 2.

Step Four

Westmont will begin notifying applicants of their financial aid offers in mid to late March. The process we use is an electronic notification. Admitted students will be specifically instructed regarding access of their awards. All students will have until May 1, the National Candidates Reply Date, to let us know of their decision to enroll. Confirmation deposits postmarked after May 1 may be held on a space-available basis.
