Scholarships Augustinian Scholarship

“To whom much has been given, much shall be required.”
Intellectual gifts are a sacred trust to cultivate and invest in God’s work in the world.

About the Program

The Augustinian Scholars Program (ASP) offers a four-year scholarship and honors curriculum to students committed to academic excellence and Christian formation. The ASP invites students to study the work of St. Augustine of Hippo and other key thinkers in the Christian intellectual tradition because a rigorous pursuit of truth grows out of our pursuit of God. Rather than a separate honors college, ASP operates within Westmont, providing support and intellectual fellowship to the scholars and enhancing their engagement with the broader community.

Westmont welcomes 60 incoming first-year students to the program each year. The highest financial award level, granted to about 30 of these scholars, covers 85% of tuition. The remaining 30 scholars receive a special award to augment the student's existing academic award.

Candidates for the incoming 2023 cohort of Augustinian scholars will be selected from among all applications completed prior to the Early Action deadline. Augustinian Candidates will then be invited to participate in a candidate process that will include a campus visit during one of our candidate weekends in January and February.
