Scholarships

The Hankamer School of Business awards two basic types of scholarships to students who have been admitted into the Hankamer School of Business either after a minimum of 60 hours or as part of the Business Fellows or Business (Hankamer) programs.

Merit-based scholarships – awarded primarily based on college academic success or other leadership criteria.
Need-based scholarships – awarded based upon documented need per the CSS Profile (www.cssprofile.org) and/or FAFSA (www.fafsa.gov). For consideration of any need-based scholarships, you must have completed the FAFSA. Students who started at Baylor before summer 2019 are exempt from the CSS Profile requirement; however, they must still submit a FAFSA for need-based scholarship consideration.

For the 2024-25 academic year, students seeking a business school scholarship should follow the following procedures:

ALL students should apply using Scholarship Universe.

To apply for these scholarships, use the menu on the top left to select the Applications tab. Next, select the HSB 2024-2025 General Scholarship Application. If your major is specific to one of the HSB Department Applications, you'll want to complete that application as well.

For merit-based scholarships, also complete this link
No additional application exists for need-based scholarships but ensure the CSS and/or FAFSA have been completed.

All scholarship applications must be submitted by end of day (11:59 PM) on April 1. HSB Scholarship Committee recommendations are forwarded to the Student Financial Aid Office for final assignment, and award notifications are sent by Financial Aid in June for use the following academic year.

If you have any questions about Scholarship Universe or your financial aid, contact Baylor One Stop by visiting their office on the third floor of the SUB, submitting a contact form online, or calling 254-710-2611.

Note: the incorporation of Scholarship Universe is an updated approach for the upcoming 2024-25 academic year. If you previously applied for any merit-based or departmental scholarships, you MUST also apply using the link above for consideration.
