Financial Aid

True leaders are those who measure success by the number of lives they touch and improve. As part of our mission to graduate such leaders, Houston Baptist University (HBU) works hard to provide financial aid opportunities and to address affordability issues. We have numerous academic, talent, leadership, merit, athletic, and alumni scholarships and grants available to finance your education.

Please visit our Estimated Cost of Attendance page to view tuition and fees for both undergraduate and graduate students.  In addition, you may use the Net Price Calculator to obtain a better personalized estimate of your projected cost to attend HBU.
