Thank you for inquiring into the financial aid process here at Wayland Baptist University! In order to ensure a successful outcome, it's important to understand the process as well as the necessary documentation required to complete the process.

The four to five weeks begins from the date that Wayland's Plainview campus receives the institutional application for financial aid along with all required documentation.
