School of Education Excellence Fund
Gifts help enrich students’ experience in the Baylor School of Education by providing classroom equipment, relevant technology, research opportunities, stipends for students to attend prestigious conferences and competitions. Gifts also support Global Leadership Initiatives and community outreach efforts.
School of Education Endowed Scholarship Fund
A Baylor teacher influences hundreds (sometimes thousands) of students during a lifetime of service, and that impact often extends beyond students to their families. Baylor School of Education offers future educators unparalleled preparation through field experiences supervised by faculty, alongside Baylor-trained mentor teachers. Scholarships remain a top priority as our school prepares the next generation of teachers, many of whom are unable to attend Baylor without financial support. The world needs more Baylor teachers, and you can help create them.
Your support helps the School of Education stand in the gap for deserving students who need financial assistance to continue their pursuit of a Baylor education and to fulfill their calling as educators.
