The Westminster Honors Scholarship provides the Augusta area with prestigious academic scholarship awards for rising ninth grade students.  In the tradition of academic scholarships found at our finest universities, the Westminster Honors Scholarship intends to attract the most exceptional students from the CSRA to Westminster’s High School program.  A well-established scholarship program helps to ensure the continuity of excellence within a school.   The Westminster Honors Scholarship will enhance Westminster’s tradition of excellence.

Several Westminster Honors scholarships will be awarded each year to rising ninth grade applicants.  This award will cover from half to full tuition and will be renewable each year to those scholarship recipients who maintain at least an 85 academic average.
