Funding fit at The Westminster Schools

Does The Westminster Schools accept the Georgia Promise Scholarship?

Yes. The Westminster Schools is on the Georgia Education Savings Authority's 2026-27 participating school list, approved as of April 23, 2026, so a student who qualifies for the Promise Scholarship can direct up to $6,500 a year to it.

The state records its accreditation as SAIS (accredited). A participating school may enroll Promise students only in the grades its accreditation covers, so confirm your child's grade with the admissions office.

Does The Westminster Schools take the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS)?

Not for 2026-27. The Westminster Schools isn't on GaDOE's authorized participating list for the Special Needs Scholarship, so a GSNS award can't be used here this year.

There are 153 authorized schools in our directory; the special education hub lists those built around learning differences.
