Serving Those Who Serve

Affordable Education Built for Your Whole Military Family

Wayland Baptist University is committed to supporting the educational goals of military families. We are proud to offer a specialized military tuition rate designed to match the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance (TA) rate for both undergraduate and graduate coursework.

This preferred tuition rate also extends to eligible military spouses, helping service members and their families pursue their educational goals with greater affordability and flexibility.

Standard course materials fees apply for graduate coursework and spousal enrollments.

No Out-of-Pocket Cost for Active-Duty Undergraduate Students

Pair your Tuition Assistance (TA) benefits with our Military Student Education Resource Scholarship (MSERS) to create no out-of-pocket expense for eligible undergraduate college classes.

Military Student Education Resource Scholarship

The Military Student Education Resource Scholarship covers the course materials fee of $28 per credit hour in undergraduate programs. This support significantly reduces the financial burden on eligible military students and helps make education more accessible while supporting continued academic success.

Convenience Designed for Military Students

For over fifty years, Wayland has proudly served our military through education. We started with classes taught on base in a Christian environment and at affordable rates. While others have left, Wayland remains on base, continues to offer face-to-face instruction, and provides online options designed to fit your schedule.

To maintain compliance with VA and Department of Defense regulations, this specific military tuition rate is not applied to students utilizing VA education benefits. Standard published tuition rates will apply.
