Most students see financial aid to be something worth going after, whether it’s because of their academic excellence or because they need financial assistance. Baker University ensures that they meet the appropriate authorities who will help them dissect their needs, and direct them to secure the appropriate form of fund with which they may fund their own education and not feel burdened. Depending on the candidate’s application and eligibility, they will be open to special benefits or offers, from different scholarships to various kinds of grants.
Scholarships
Scholarships are a part of the gift aids and are given to meritorious students by different sources such as the federal government, institution, private sectors, and so on. Currently, 97% of Baker students receive funding to help pay for their education, and for some, this can make the difference between a dream and a reality. While some of their aid comes from federal grants and loans, for many of our students, the gap is bridged with endowed scholarships funded by Baker University alumni and friends.
-
Endowed scholarships: These are critical because they provide permanent funding for programs on which students can count—year after year. Just as scholarships have made a difference in the lives of those who have received them, they have also made a difference in the university as a whole. A gift of an endowed scholarship enables a donor’s impact to last well into the future, and it enables the university to attract and retain generations of high-achieving and deserving students.
-
Academic Scholarship Competition: Students admitted to Baker who receive an academically based scholarship are invited to participate in a day celebrating accomplishments and exploring Baker opportunities. Participation in Academic Scholarship Competition Day is by invitation only.
-
Edward Lin Harter & Sylvia Lloyd Harter Scholarship: Harter Scholars receive full tuition for four years at Baker and have the opportunity to spend a semester at Harlaxton College in England. This is Baker’s most prestigious award. Eligibility is determined by GPA and ACT or SAT score.
-
Presidential Scholarship: Presidential scholarships are awarded based on participation in Academic Scholarship Competition Day and are in addition to other scholarships awarded by Baker University. Eligibility for this scholarship is determined by GPA and ACT or SAT score. Qualified candidates who have been admitted to the university will be sent an invitation to visit campus and interact with faculty while competing for this scholarship.
Grants
Baker University offers their grants based on the financial needs of the students. This may come from the federal government, state government, or the institute themselves.Students receive some of the following grants:
-
Federal Grants: These are the economic aid provided by the United States government out of the general federal revenue.
-
Pell Grants: The U.S. Department of Education determines recipients and the amount of the award based on FAFSA results. The Pell Grant is targeted to high-need students. In case of Baker University, pell grants may range from $652 to $6,095.
-
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG): Recipients must show need on the FAFSA each year for renewal. Grants will be awarded to students with exceptional need for funding. The amount can vary each year and depends on funding. Preference is given to students who are eligible for Federal Pell Grants.
-
TEACH Grant: Students who intend to teach in a school that serves students from low-income families and are majoring in a high-need field of foreign language, mathematics, reading specialist, science, or special education, can be considered for a grant up to $3,752 per year. It is recommended that students complete introductory courses in education before considering this grant program due to the service obligation requirements; therefore, this grant is not available to freshmen.
-
State grants: These are the grants provided by the State of Kansas to the needy students.
-
Kansas Comprehensive Grant: Kansas residents should apply for this need-based, state-funded grant by filling out the FAFSA by March 15 in order to meet the priority processing deadline of April 1. Applicants must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 semester hours and maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA. This grant is available for eight semesters if you show financial need.
