Hello peeps! I'm hailing from the sunny state of California and considering Baylor in Texas for my undergrad. I've heard the out of state tuition fees can be a bit more expensive compared to us in-staters. Anyone know what I might be facing financially if I attend Baylor University all the way from Cali?
When considering tuition costs, it's important to note that at private universities like Baylor, there's no differentiation between in-state and out-of-state tuition. Essentially, tuition is the same for all students, regardless of their place of residence. At public universities, you'll often see a difference in tuition costs for in-state versus out-of-state students.
For the 2024-2025 school year, tuition at Baylor University is $58,100. You also should take into account room and board, books, and personal expenses, which can bring the total cost of attendance to around $63,000.
Remember, these are sticker prices and not everyone pays the full cost. Financial aid and scholarships can significantly decrease these prices, so I advise you to fill out your FAFSA and check out Baylor's scholarship opportunities. Their scholarships range from $3,000 to $22,000 per year based on a combination of test scores and grade point average.
And, don’t forget to calculate your net price using Baylor's Net Price Calculator. This tool gives you an estimate of what financial aid you might receive from Baylor, and thus, what your actual cost could end up being.
