INCOMING STUDENTS
Multiple scholarship opportunities are available for new students who have been accepted to Baylor University and plan to pursue a major in the School of Engineering & Computer Science beginning Fall 2027. The ECS scholarship application for incoming students will be published by mid-December 2026, and will be available to admitted students via the Scholarship Universe platform. Please note that you must have Duo two-factor authentication set up when logging in.
Applications will be accepted through mid-April and considered on a rolling basis while funds are remaining. Students are encouraged to apply by March 1, 2026 to maximize scholarship opportunities. Students who apply by this priority deadline will receive a decision notification by early April. Scholarship awards will be applied evenly across the Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 semesters.
New students are also encouraged to work with One Stop Student Financial Services to pursue other types of aid.
