Financial Aid & Costs

Nine of 10 Baker students receive some type of financial aid and most aid packages pay for the majority of the direct cost of school.

Students who wish to be considered for financial aid are required to fill out two forms: the Baker University Application for Scholarship and Financial Aid and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Three types of aid are available to those who qualify: grants, scholarships and loans. Grants and scholarships do not need to be repaid. Student loans are repaid after graduation.
