The campaign will enable Westminster to enroll the best and brightest students. It will increase the availability of financial aid for talented students of diverse backgrounds and limited financial means who will benefit from and contribute to the vibrancy of the campus community.

Young people excel when they discover their passions and learn how to use their talents and skills to lift up others. Increased support for financial aid will create opportunities for a wide range of students to not only benefit from a Westminster education but also contribute to the enrichment of the school community at large. Many important lessons are learned through conversations with those who have had differing life experiences, especially if those conversations take place during one of the most formative times in life: the transition from childhood to adulthood.
The campaign will also enrich and expand innovative programs that enable students to broaden their outlook, worldview and sense of possibility. These programs include such initiatives as the Davis Scholars Program, the Bruyette Leadership Academy, Westminster Crossroads Learning Program, the public speaking program, independent study opportunities, summer immersion programs and study abroad. These enrichment opportunities are invaluable preparation for life in a complex and connected world and will be accessible to students of all financial circumstances.
