Baylor out-of-state tuition?

I've started to seriously consider Baylor for college, but I'm an out-of-state student. Does anyone know about the out-of-state tuition for Baylor and if there are any good financial aid opportunities for students like me?

Baylor University, based in Waco, Texas, does not differentiate its tuition costs based on a student's residency status. All students, whether they're in-state or out-of-state, are charged the same tuition, and as of the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition sits at about $58,100 per year.

In terms of financial aid, you're in luck. Baylor offers several financial aid options, and roughly 92% of students receive some form of financial aid. Your options are comprised of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs.

Baylor also offers several merit-based scholarships, which don't require any financial need. The amounts awarded will vary individual by individual and depend on academic performance.

Another thing to note is that Baylor meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for incoming freshmen, so they use your FAFSA (or CSS Profile, if you're an international student) to calculate how much aid you need. So if your financial need was determined to be $35,000, Baylor guarantees they will give you that in aid.

Finally, remember that you can always work on campus as part of a federal work-study program to offset some costs.

Remember, applying for financial aid and scholarships often involves meeting specific deadlines, so make sure to keep an eye on those as you go through the application process. You should use the net price calculator on Baylor’s financial aid website to get a better sense of what your specific financial aid package might look like before you apply. Good luck!
