Grants
Grants are gift aid awarded to students who meet federal, state, and/or university requirements. The state of Texas provides the Tuition Equalization Grant for its qualified residents.
Federal Grants
You must complete a FAFSA each academic year in which you want to be considered for each of these grant programs. If you were selected for verification, this aid will not credit to your semester bill until the verification process is completed.
Students receiving federal grants are required to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).
State Grants
State grant programs are available to residents of Texas (as defined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board) who qualify on a need basis as demonstrated by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Currently, the only state grant program Baylor offers is the Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG). Students must complete the FAFSA each academic year to be considered for this grant. Baylor awards TEG on a first-come, first-served basis. State residents who are noncitizens can complete the TASFA to be considered for TEG on a first-come, first-served basis.

Baylor Grants
Baylor Need-Based Grants are awarded to incoming students who submit a FAFSA and CSS Profile and who have need as determined by the CSS Profile information. Returning students are not required to send a new CSS Profile to continue to receive the grant, but may be asked to send a new CSS Profile if their FAFSA information changes significantly. Grants can be renewed by meeting the criteria outlined below.
