Scholarships
Student Foundation scholarships change lives. Every year, Student Foundation members volunteer hours to raise funds for student scholarships so current and future students can enjoy the Baylor experience. Through personal visits with alumni, the Bearathon Half-Marathon and Sic 'Em 6K, Homecoming Parade Grandstands, and other fundraising efforts, Student Foundation was able to award nearly 100 scholarships last year.
Join us in providing much-needed scholarship support by making your gift today or making an appointment to visit with a current Student Foundation member. If you would like to schedule a visit with our members, please email us at StudentFoundation@baylor.edu.
About Our Scholarships
There are two types of gifts to Student Foundation scholarships: current scholarships and endowed scholarships.
Current Gifts
Contributions to the Student Foundation Scholarship Fund will be used to meet needs within the current fiscal year. Current gifts to Student Foundation provide immediate benefits to students when the scholarships are awarded at the Spring Scholarship Banquet.
Endowment Gifts
Gifts to endowed funds make a permanent impact because the initial gift remains in the endowment while a portion of the earnings is used to provide a scholarship to a deserving student. All gifts to any Student Foundation Endowment Fund support our scholarships. You may choose to support any existing named Student Foundation Endowment Fund on our main online giving page.
Alumni and friends may wish to create a new endowed scholarship fund in your name or as a tribute to a friend or loved one. You may fund your endowment over a specified period of time, and when the fund reaches $50,000, it will begin providing assistance to Baylor students. For more information on this option, you may contact University Advancement at 254-710-2561.
