Submit FAFSA- (If applicable)

To be considered for need-based financial aid, students will need to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) prior to enrollment in the fall semester. The FAFSA is based on a couple different factors; therefore, even if you think your family may not qualify, it is highly recommended to still file for FAFSA. File the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Your Options for Housing

Truett Seminary students have several options when it comes to housing. We maintain a list of both houses and apartments that are available for students to rent as well as a list of students who are seeking roommates. Both of these lists are located in the Housing Options section of the Truett website. Additionally, Baylor provides the option for on campus graduate student housing which is open to all Truett students. The Quadrangle is another option for off campus housing for graduate students.
