Admissions & Aid
Cost of Attendance
Understanding the full cost of a Westmont education is an important step in planning for college. While our published tuition, fees, and living expenses provide a starting point, your net cost will likely be much lower. Thanks to our generous financial aid options, received by 95% of students, Westmont offers an exceptional education that’s more affordable than you might expect.
We strongly encourage families to file a FAFSA to maximize financial aid opportunities. You can even estimate your net cost using our new Net Price Calculator!
Don’t forget to explore Westmont’s generous scholarships! Academic awards ranging from $15,000-$25,000 per year are automatically awarded to qualifying students upon admission, making a Westmont education even more attainable.

Please note: If you are approved for off-campus housing or a meal plan exemption, your Westmont gift aid may be adjusted. Please contact the Financial Aid Office to see how this change impacts your specific package.

2026-2027 costs for a student living OFF CAMPUS
The cost of attendance for students who are approved to live in non-Westmont-run housing (not including living with parents/family members) includes allowances toward housing and other living expenses. These are not intended to reflect actual costs that a student may incur, only an allowance toward those costs. Since total financial aid is limited to the total cost of attendance, students should carefully consider their own costs and their ability to supplement financial aid, if necessary, to cover any additional costs that may arise.
