Senior Year & Graduate Opportunities 

Fulbright Scholarships

The Fulbright grant is a competitive award that students apply for their senior year or after they graduate. The grant offers a chance of a lifetime to spend a year studying, researching, or teaching abroad while building cultural bridges between the US and your host country. There are two main awards: the Study/Research Award, which funds graduate study or research in the host country, and the English Teaching Assistant (ETA) award, where grantees work as English teaching assistant. Please contact the Office of Engaged Learning for details. 


The Marshall Scholarship 

Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a graduate degree in the United Kingdom.  Up to fifty Scholars are selected each year to study at the graduate level at a UK institution in nearly any field of study. As future leaders, with a lasting understanding of British society, Marshall Scholars strengthen the enduring relationship between the British and American peoples, their governments, and their institutions. Please contact the Office of Engaged Learning for details. 


Rotary International

Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarships are extraordinary opportunities and provide funds for students to study abroad the year after graduation from college (or beyond). A student may apply for the Rotary during the spring of the junior year. Therefore, if a student is looking for a chance to study in the country of his or her dreams the year following graduation from Baylor, this is definitely a scholarship to be considered.

Baylor University Funding Resources 

Baylor Office of Engaged Learning Fellowships and Awards 

Housed within the College of Arts & Sciences, the Office of Engaged Learning supports undergraduate students from across Baylor's nine academic units as they pursue dynamic educations. While the university classroom serves as the cornerstone of academic excellence and a rich undergraduate experience, our office equips students to maximize their education beyond the classroom through civic engagement, fellowships and awards, research, internships, and study abroad opportunities. Fellowships and awards mentors work with students on all aspects of national merit award applications that will enrich their educations.


Baylor Scholarships & Aid

There are many ways to make a Baylor education fit your family's budget. Very few students pay the full tuition "sticker price" and are able to fund their education through various scholarships, financial aid, loans, and payment plans. Our financial aid counselors will help you explore these options.

 

Check with your department to see if they offer Study Abroad scholarships! 

If you are eligible, apply for the Student Engagement Scholarship.
