Westmont is the No. 2 college in California for helping its students afford tuition.

Westmont is one of the top schools in the country and No. 2 in California for helping its students afford their education, according to a ranking by LendEDU. Using data from the National Center for Education Statistics and Peterson’s Financial Aid Dataset, LendEDU’s study considered need-based financial aid, non-need-based financial aid, and financial aid for international students at 829 colleges and universities in the United States. The report is intended to help future college students better understand which colleges may be affordable for them by taking into account more than just the cost of attendance.
