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 awards approximately 60 Augustinian Scholarships to incoming first-year students each year, which cover 85 percent of tuition for four years.
