SCHOLARSHIPS and GRANT PROGRAMS — NEW YORK STATE

Academic Excellence Scholarships

Tuition 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. Refer to the scholarship chart for the specific criteria. The examinations are held throughout the academic year at Bryant & Stratton College and other locations. For more information regarding dates and criteria for a variety of academic excellence scholarships that are available to you, please call your local admissions department.

Awards are based upon academic promise and the quality of materials submitted to the Scholarship Committee. Scholarships may be awarded contingent upon the application submittal and acceptance deadline 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, a GPA of 3.0, and adheres to the College's regulations and policies as outlined in the Official Catalog. Scholarship awards cover all or part of the cost of full-time tuition (12-18 credit hours per semester). 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 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 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.

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

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 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.
