Thank you for your interest in Baylor University! Today's industry requires leaders who can act upon ideas, articulate concepts, work within teams, and develop solutions that will meet economic and societal issues. Baylor engineering and computer science programs have softened the traditional sharp distinction between academic disciplines to produce graduates who excel as members of interdisciplinary teams. Most high-tech designs in industry are routinely provided by such interdisciplinary teams. Small classes and a close working relationship with demanding faculty are major strengths of the programs. Graduates of Baylor School of Engineering and Computer Science are well prepared to begin work in industry, to pursue an advanced engineering degree, or to pursue other career fields such as business, medicine, or law.

To qualify for a SAS scholarship grant you must:

•be a citizen of the United States, a National of the United States (as defined in Section 101(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act), an alien admitted as a refugee under Section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, or an alien lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence;

•transfer as a full-time student to one of the degree programs offered by the School of Engineering and Computer Science (BSCS, BSI, BSECE, BSME, or BSE);

•transfer a minimum 45 semester hours of coursework applicable to one of the degree programs listed above;

•have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics and/or chemistry courses transferred; and

•demonstrate financial need as defined for undergraduate students by the U.S. Department of Education rules for need-based Federal financial aid.

If you feel that you meet the qualifications above, send an email requesting an application form to . The application form will require an essay, two letters of recommendation and transcripts of all college-level academic work.

In addition, SAS scholars will be required to reside on campus in the Engineering and Computer Science Living-Learning Center (ECS-LLC) within the North Village Residential Community for the first two semesters. This requirement may be waived for students with special circumstances. Students must maintain at least a 2.75 GPA each term to maintain the award for the following academic term.

Students who qualify for a SAS scholarship may also qualify for additional financial assistance.
