Julie and R.J. Robinson have been married for six years and are studying at Truett Seminary, both on track to receive a Master of Arts degree in Christian Divinity. They were married while attending college in South Dakota where they earned their undergraduate degrees. They received no scholarships specifically for being married from this school, just as married students studying at Baylor will receive no such scholarships.

When the couple was first married, Julie would write down their combined income and their bill amounts. Sometimes they would be up to $500 short of the amount they owed for bills, but Julie said that God provided for their needs in ways that they would have never imagined, and at the end of the month things would always work out.

One year before enrolling at Baylor for the 2010 fall semester, hospital corpsman Rachael “Doc” Harrelson was rendering aid to fellow shipmates in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Now Harrelson is more concerned about financial aid than rendering aid.

Colorado Springs, Colo., junior Chuck Voss is paying his own way at Baylor. It’s not cheap.

According to the Baylor Student Financial Services website, the total an average Baylor student pays for two semesters of undergraduate education is $51,214.

Food. Everybody needs it. On-campus residents can get most of their meals the same way, through a meal plan, but they don’t all agree on its value.

These preset plans have benefits and disadvantages, and Baylor offers different plans than other schools in Texas.
