Earning a Baylor MBA is a long-term investment with life-long returns that begin more quickly than you might think. Historically, more than 90 percent of our early-career MBA graduates secure jobs with an average starting salary of $78,000+ within 90 days of graduation. But we know the first step toward financially investing in your future is often the hardest, and that’s why we assist the majority of our Full-Time MBA candidates with some measure of financial support.

Financial Awards
A very high percentage of Baylor MBA students receive financial awards—assistance that comes in a variety of forms to fit our students’ needs. This may include tuition scholarships, grants, loans and work-study opportunities.
Tuition Scholarships
- Baylor Scholarships range from 25-100% tuition remission.
- The criteria for being awarded a scholarship is based on work experience, GMAT/GRE score, academic record and overall strength of your application.
- There are no additional steps students need to take to be considered for a scholarship. All admitted students are automatically considered for a scholarship.
- International students are considered for scholarships on the same basis as domestic students.
It is not necessary to complete a separate application for a scholarship. If you are admitted, the Business School will simultaneously notify you if you have been awarded a scholarship offer alongside your acceptance notification. Priority is given to early applicants.
Grants, Loans and Work-Study Opportunities
In addition to program-awarded scholarships, other forms of financial aid are available. Once your application is approved, you may also want to apply for financial aid through Baylor University Student Financial Services. Student Financial Services will work with you to determine your eligibility for grants, loans and work-study programs.
