The Honors College is proud to offer scholarships to incoming and current Honors College students. With more than 90 percent of current students receiving some type of financial assistance, Baylor has focused on increasing endowed scholarships to help keep Baylor affordable for families, while providing students with the highest quality Christian education at Baylor.

All Honors College scholarships are merit-based; some also are need-based. Filing the FAFSA is imperative for all applications regardless of eligibility for need-based aid.
