SCHOLARSHIP and GRANT PROGRAMS – NEW YORK STATE

Scholarships for New York State

Bryant & Stratton College administers scholarships for students demonstrating outstanding leadership qualities, academic abilities, and/or financial need. Students interested in applying for institutional scholarships during their time at college should consult the scholarship listing available in the Financial Aid Department or at http://www.bryantstratton.edu/pdf/SGD.pdf for specific criteria.

Academic Excellence Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded at most Bryant & Stratton College campuses on a competitive basis. These scholarships are available to recent high school seniors, adult learners, online learners, and Bachelor Degree Program students. Scholarships are awarded based upon the materials submitted to the Scholarship Committee. Scholarships may be awarded contingent upon the application submittal and acceptance deadlines set forth in the scholarship to a Bryant & Stratton College degree program. An award can be used at any campus location during the awarded school year(s) and is not transferable for use by any other person. Scholarships may be renewable for each semester that the recipient continuously attends, maintains satisfactory academic progress, and a GPA of 3.0, unless otherwise indicated on the Scholarship and Grant Charts. Scholarship recipients must adhere to the College’s regulations and policies as outlined in the Official Catalog. Scholarship awards cover all or part of the cost of tuition. All other costs such as college fees, books, supplies, and proficiencies are paid in full by the student.

Bryant & Stratton College requires scholarship recipients to apply for federal and state grants. Any funds awarded under such grant programs will be applied first toward the student’s tuition. The Bryant & Stratton College Scholarship will then be applied to any remaining tuition balance. The value of any scholarship will not exceed the cost of tuition after the amount of federal or state only grant award(s) has been applied. Scholarships are funded proportionally on a consecutive semester basis without interruption over the scholarship award period. Should circumstances warrant other consideration, only the Campus Director may grant approval.

Matching Scholarships

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. The organization cannot be affiliated with Bryant & Stratton College. Organizations, typically 501(c)(3)s, may include but are not limited to unions, civic or fraternal groups, philanthropic societies, educational entities, and local or national professional groups and business firms. 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 annual total award amounts. Scholarships provided to employees of public or private businesses must include eligibility criteria in addition to employment to be eligible for a matching scholarship. Internal College-specific scholarships are excluded from the matching program.

The dollar value will be applied towards tuition up to the full value of the scholarship that qualifies the student for this program, and in no instance will the amount exceed the total tuition for the program in which the student originally enrolled. The value of the scholarship will not exceed the cost of tuition after the amount of state and federal grant awards has been applied. Bryant & Stratton College Matching Scholarships are funded on a consecutive semester basis without interruption over the award period identified by the granting agency.

Documented proof of the organization’s academic scholarship program must accompany the Bryant & Stratton College Matching Scholarship application and must include written and specific eligibility criteria and/or conditions for awarding scholarship funds. Documentation should be submitted no later than two weeks prior to the start of classes.

Early Acceptance Scholarship Program

The Bryant & Stratton College campuses can award one-time scholarships of $500 each to students who complete the entire enrollment process by a deadline predetermined and specified by the local scholarship committee at each campus.

To be eligible for the award a student must: • Meet with an admissions representative for a personal interview to determine program selection; • Complete an application for enrollment; • Submit an essay that addresses these questions;

o “Why are you interested in Bryant & Stratton College?” o “Why are you the best candidate for the scholarship?” o “How do you plan on using your Bryant & Stratton College education?”

The selection of winners will be based on the highest evaluation scores and the strength of the application as determined by the Scholarship Committee. Institutional Grant Programs for New York State The Bryant & Stratton College campuses offer various institutional grant programs that are need based programs designed to assist students in paying educational costs. The grants are administered on a first-come, first-served basis for eligible students. The value of the grant will not exceed the total cost of tuition, fees, and books, minus all other forms of financial aid, which includes grants, student loans, parent loans, scholarships, and matching scholarships. Under extraordinary circumstance, the College may allow student credit balance refunds when disbursing institutional grants. Student eligibility for an institutional grant is determined when the student is packaged for financial aid. Certain institutional grants will be disbursed to the student’s account during the last week of the term. If a student withdraws, stops attending within a term, is academically dismissed or suspended, the student will no longer be eligible for the institutional grant for that term. Please see your campus financial aid office for additional information as criteria for grants vary. Students interested in applying for grants during their time at the College should consult the grant listing available in the Financial Aid Department or at http://www.bryantstratton.eud/pdf/SGD.pdf for specific criteria. Residence Life Award (Syracuse Campus Only) A maximum of 40 Residence Life Awards are made available each year by competition to recent high school seniors who plan to live in the campus dormitories while attending the Syracuse campus.
