Scholarships
A scholarship is an award of financial aid for students to further their education. Wayland Baptist University is fortunate to have a large number of endowed scholarships provided by donors, churches, alumni, and organizations loyal to Wayland.
With educational costs rising nationwide, many parents and prospective students believe private education is beyond reach. We strive to help our students receive the maximum aid available to them. Our main goal in offering financial aid for students is to help students attain their education goals, whatever they may be.
