William Jennings Bryan Opportunity Program
The William Jennings Bryan Opportunity Program is designed to help make Bryan College accessible to all academically qualified students who demonstrate significant financial need. The program is a guarantee that eligible students will receive scholarship and/or grant funds from federal, state and/or institutional sources which meet or exceed the cost of tuition at Bryan College. In many cases additional funds will be available to help offset the cost of room and board.All Tennessee high school seniors entering Bryan College as first-time, full-time freshmen in the fall of 2008 who have been accepted for admission and submitted a Bryan College Scholarship Application before December 31, 2007, will be considered for the William Jennings Bryan Opportunity Program. Students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 15, be eligible for federal aid, and have a total family income equal to or less than $35,000. (Total family income includes the parent(s) with whom the student resides, the step-parent residing in the household, and the student. We will also consider untaxed, interest, and investment income where appropriate).
All students who are determined to be initially eligible will be required to submit financial documentation (including but not limited to tax forms, W-2s, and 1099s) to the Financial Aid Office to determine final eligibility. If the review of these forms indicates the presence of significant assets or other income, Bryan College will reserve the right to alter or disqualify the student from the William Jennings Bryan Opportunity Program.
To remain eligible for up to four years students must maintain continuous full-time enrollment, a cumulative 3.0 GPA, file the FAFSA each year by our priority deadline, and continue to have a total family income equal to or less than $35,000.
