Baylor's Endowment
A growing endowment is essential to keeping a Baylor education affordable for deserving students of all economic backgrounds, and it is an important determinant of our long term competitiveness with other top-tier institutions. Investment returns from the endowment portfolio and ongoing gifts from alumni and friends are essential to the healthy growth of Baylor's Endowment. The portfolio is invested with a target return that provides for monthly distributions to support students on campus today while more than keeping pace with inflation to enhance the endowment's purchasing power for generations to come.
