Is there any sort of financial aid available?
Each year, Baylor offers need-based financial aid to make its educational experience accessible to qualified students, regardless of their socio-economic back ground. To receive information about financial aid, please check the appropriate box on the admission application, or call the Admission Office at 267-5902. Requests for financial aid information will not affect admission decisions.

Does Baylor give scholarships?
The only scholarships available are for a select number of highly qualified boarding students through our Distinguished Scholars Program. Otherwise, the assistance Baylor offers is need-based financial aid as determined by the school and Student Services (SSS). Baylor's financial aid is designed to supplement family resources to allow qualified students to enroll who would not have been able to do so without the school's assistance.

Are athletic scholarships available?
Baylor does not offer athletic scholarships.

Is financial aid renewable each year?
Changes in your financial status may affect the size of your award, and therefore a new application must be filed with the Admission Office and SSS each year.

Is my financial aid information confidential?
Yes! All submitted financial aid information is confidential – only members of the Financial Aid Committee have access.

Are decisions regarding admission and financial aid related?
All admission decisions are made without regard for financial need.

Must I repay this award?
No. A financial award is used to offset the cost of your child's education.

How much financial aid may I expect to receive?
Each award is individualized, based upon the financial need of each applicant.
