Westmont student-athletes flexed their academic strength with their athletic performance with 52 Warriors earning National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Scholar Athlete status and a dozen athletic programs named NAIA Scholar Teams. Juniors and seniors who maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 earn NAIA Scholar Athlete status. Scholar Teams maintain at least a 3.0 GPA average.
The Warriors were one of 112 NAIA schools to earn the top Gold Level of the 2019-20 Champions of Character Five-Star Award. Westmont earned 97 out of 100 points for character training and exceptional student-athlete grade point averages.
