International New and Currently Enrolled Students
This page contains links and information about scholarships and financial aid that apply specifically to current international Baylor students. Please click here if you are a prospective international student.
Gift Aid for International Students
• Currently Enrolled Undergraduate International Students
Current international Baylor students who would like to be considered for merit-based Baylor scholarships based on their cumulative Baylor GPA of 3.5 or better, should contact the Office of Academic Scholarships & Financial Aid early in the spring semester to complete a Merit Scholarship Request Form.
If you are already receiving merit assistance, you will be automatically reconsidered for renewal of your merit-based Baylor scholarship(s) each year.
• Graduate International Students
Graduate Assistantship appointments are made by the respective departmental chairmen. Please contact your major department chairman for application information.
All Other Aid for International Students
Federal Financial Aid
If you are not a U.S. citizen or do not have a status with the Department of Homeland Security as a "permanent resident," you will not be able to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We must have the results of this document in order to determine a student's eligibility for all other types of aid at Baylor University such as need-based scholarships, federal and state grants and many loan programs.
Priority for employment on campus is given to students who qualify for the Federal Work-Study program on a need-basis. After the first three weeks of classes in the fall, all students who want to work will be able to compete for on-campus positions for the remainder of the academic year.
International students can compete for positions with approval from the office of International Student and Scholar Services.
State Aid for Texas Residents
Non citizens who do not qualify for federal assistance may be eligible for consideration for assistance as Texas residents. For details regarding the specific Texas residency requirements, go to the College For Texas Website. After reviewing this information, if you feel that you may qualify as a Texas resident, contact the Office of Academic Scholarships and Financial Aid regarding the procedure to apply for state financial aid programs.
