Your student’s Baker journey could inspire your own.

The Reverse Legacy Scholarship is a Baker University scholarship opportunity for eligible parents of Baker alumni or current Baker students. It is designed to help Baker families continue their educational connection across generations by supporting parents who want to begin or continue their own Baker journey.

Eligible students may receive a $1,000 scholarship per year. Final award eligibility, timing, and renewal details will be confirmed through Baker’s enrollment and financial aid process.

The scholarship is intended for first-time Baker students who are parents of either a Baker graduate or a current Baker bachelor’s degree student who has completed at least 60 credit hours toward their degree, including at least 12 credit hours completed at Baker.

Not necessarily. Parents may be eligible if their child is a Baker graduate or if their child is currently enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program and has completed the required credit-hour milestone.

For this scholarship, the parent must be enrolling at Baker as a first-time Baker student. An enrollment representative can help confirm whether your previous college experience, transfer credits, or academic history affect your eligibility.

The scholarship may apply to eligible parents enrolling in College of Arts and Sciences programs, School of Professional and Graduate Studies undergraduate and graduate programs, Graduate School of Education master’s programs, and School of Nursing master’s programs. Program eligibility should be confirmed with an enrollment representative.

If your child is currently enrolled in a Baker bachelor’s degree program, they must have completed at least 60 credit hours toward their degree, including at least 12 credit hours at Baker. Parents of Baker graduates may also be eligible.
