Financial Aid & Scholarships

Financial Aid

Financial aid is a critical part of most students' education. Currently, about 70 percent of Baylor students are on financial assistance or scholarship aid.

Financial aid is offered through department scholarships, federal loans, grants and scholarships. For federal loans, grants and scholarships, students must apply through Baylor's Financial Aid Office located in Clifton Robinson Tower.

Contact the office for further details at 254-710-2611.
