Overview

A student raises her hand in a bright classroom, seated among peers pursuing HR degrees or Business degrees. The atmosphere suggests active participation and engagement in learning.
For most students, the first question after “what program should I take?” is “how do I pay for it?” At Bryant & Stratton College, you may have more options than you think. Bryant & Stratton College participates fully in federal financial aid programs, offers institutional scholarships to those who qualify, and works with students to identify every available source of funding, including employer tuition reimbursement, military and veterans benefits, and state-level grants. This page explains how each aid type works, who typically qualifies, and what the process looks like from your first inquiry to your first day of class.

Most students who come to Bryant & Stratton College worried about cost leave their first financial aid conversation surprised by how much support may be available. Start the conversation before you decide.

Understanding Your Costs

What Does a Bryant & Stratton College Degree Actually Cost?

Tuition at Bryant & Stratton College is determined by a variety of factors including credit hours, program type, and learning modality. The full cost of your education includes tuition, fees, and, depending on your program, books, supplies, laptops, and any required materials. The number that matters most to you, however, is not the published tuition rate: it is your net price. This is what you actually pay after grants, scholarships, and other aid are applied.

Bryant & Stratton College’s Net Price Calculator lets you enter basic financial information and get an estimate of your grant and aid package before you apply. This is the most efficient way to understand your real cost, and we strongly recommend using it early in your decision process.

Federal Financial Aid

The Pell Grant: Financial Aid for Eligible Students

The Federal Pell Grant is the largest source of need-based grant funding for undergraduate students in the United States. The current maximum Pell Grant award is $7,395. Eligibility is determined after you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Bryant & Stratton College encourages every incoming student to complete the FAFSA, regardless of income. Many students who assume they will not qualify are surprised to find they receive a partial grant or unlock access to other federal programs by filing. You cannot know what you qualify for until you apply.

Federal Loans: Borrowing Responsibly

Federal student loans are available to enrolled Bryant & Stratton College students through the Direct Loan program. Subsidized loans do not accrue interest while you are enrolled at least half-time; unsubsidized loans do accrue interest from the moment of disbursement. Both types have fixed interest rates set by the federal government and flexible repayment options including income-driven plans.

Bryant & Stratton College’s financial aid advisors will walk you through the differences between loan types, how to manage borrowing responsibly, and what your estimated monthly payment will look like after graduation.

How to Apply: The FAFSA

Completing the FAFSA is the most important step in accessing financial aid at Bryant & Stratton College. Here is what you need to know:

  • The FAFSA has an open and deadline date for every academic year. Visit the FAFSA website for the most up to date key dates.
  • File as early as possible as some state grant programs have limited funds and award on a first-come, first-served basis
  • You will need your Social Security number, prior-year tax returns (or permission to link to IRS data), and Bryant & Stratton College’s federal school code
  • Bryant & Stratton College’s financial aid advisors can assist you with questions about the FAFSA process
  • The FAFSA must be renewed each academic year

Check with your HR department about your company’s education benefits before assuming you need to fund your education entirely out of pocket.

State Grants

Residents of New York, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin may qualify for state-level grant programs in addition to federal aid. New York offers the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) for eligible residents. Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin have their own grant programs. Eligibility requirements, award amounts, and application deadlines vary; Bryant & Stratton College’s financial aid advisors can help you identify and apply for state aid available to you.
