How to get Scholarships

You’ll find a number of scholarships available at Bryant & Stratton College. Eligibility and availability are dependent on a number of factors.

Bryant & Stratton College will match the dollar value of any scholarship awarded to any student from a professional organization with a valid academic scholarship program. These organizations, which cannot be affiliated with Bryant & Stratton College, are typically 501(c)(3) entities and may include (but are not limited to) unions, civic or fraternal groups, philanthropic societies, educational entities, professional groups and businesses.

Scholarships from private or public businesses must be reviewed and pre-approved by the College. The focus of the review will include history of the program, past award amounts, award criteria, breadth of eligible award recipients, and potential total annual award amounts. Scholarships provided to employees of public or private businesses must include eligibility criteria in addition to employment in order to be eligible for a matching scholarship. College-specific scholarships are excluded from the matching program. In no instance will the amount received from a matching scholarship exceed a student’s total tuition after state and federal grants have been applied.
