Financial Aid

Financial Aid for Early Decision I and II Applicants

Early Decision applicants who are seeking financial aid are asked to complete an estimated financial aid form. Please submit the form to the Office of Financial Aid. If you are eligible for financial aid, you will receive an estimated package with your decision letter in December.

All students who wish to be considered for need-based aid are required to submit the FAFSA. We encourage all applicants to submit the FAFSA, even if you are unsure of your eligibility. The results of your FAFSA will determine your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC), which is the amount of your education you are responsible for contributing yearly. The difference between Bryant’s cost of attendance and your EFC is what the Office of Financial Aid works to meet with need-based grants, loans, and work study options. While we cannot meet 100% of need for every student, we are committed to making attending Bryant as affordable as possible for each family.

Academic Scholarships

Academic scholarships at Bryant range from $8,000 to $30,000. They are renewable for four years provided you maintain the required GPA. Students are eligible for academic scholarships regardless of whether they apply for and/or qualify for need-based aid. Financial aid and merit scholarship selection are separate processes . Need-based financial aid is awarded by the Office of Financial Aid and merit scholarships are awarded by the Office of Admission.

More than 85% of the incoming first-year students in Fall 2012 received financial aid. The average aid package exceeded $19,000.
