Veterans

Bryant University is committed to supporting veterans, active duty service members, and their families as they pursue their educational and career goals. We recognize the sacrifices you have made and are proud to provide resources and programs that help make your transition to college successful.

Veteran Benefits

We honor and support students who are eligible for military benefits. As part of that commitment, we:

  • Participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides additional financial assistance for students eligible under Chapter 33, offering 100% coverage.
  • Make this benefit available on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring that those who served have access to the resources they need to succeed.

For more details on benefit programs, see the VA website.

FAQs

How do I apply for benefits through the military?

First, you will need to complete the VA application for educational benefits. If you are found to be eligible, you’ll receive a Certificate of Eligibility (or Notice of Eligibility), which you can submit to the Registrar’s Office, care of kdrezek@bryant.edu.

We will verify your enrollment each semester. You may also need to verify enrollment online using the WAVE program in order to receive benefits (currently, only Chapter 30, 1606, or 1607).
