If you need assistance completing your coursework, our Online Accessibility Center will work with you and your instructor to address your needs and concerns.
Deployment
You can take classes whether at home or deployed, and you’ll be able to count on support from our dedicated advising team with a strong military background.
TN Strong Act
The Tennessee STRONG (Support Training and Renewing Opportunity for National Guardsmen) Act established a program to provide eligible members of the Tennessee National Guard tuition funding toward a first bachelor’s or first master’s degree or a certificate or diploma from a vocational or technical school through a tuition reimbursement program. This program is used in conjunction with Federal Tuition Assistance to pursue professional and personal self-development goals.
Defer
As STRONG is a tuition reimbursement program, students are expected to pay in full or on the installment payment plan and to be reimbursed after the semester by TN STRONG if eligibility requirements are met.
Who is eligible for benefits?
GI Bill® Education Programs
The category of benefits you may receive will depend upon when you served, your length of service, and other factors. You must be admitted to the college in a degree or certificate-seeking program to receive benefits. Assistance, including tuition & fees, books, supplies, and housing stipend, depends upon your Letter of Eligibility rating from the VA.
Students eligible to receive educational benefits through the Veterans Administration (VA) should contact the VA School Certifying Official who is housed in the Registrar’s Office.

The Helping Heroes Grant
The Helping Heroes Grant does not count against your GI Bill® benefits. The grant is available each year to as many as 375 eligible veterans on a first-come, first-serve basis and will award $1,000 to students completing at least twelve (12) semester hours each term. Applicants need to have been awarded The Iraq Campaign Medal, The Afghanistan Campaign Medal, or The Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.
Bryan College’s counselors will assist in making sure your service is identified and will guide you through the application process. Together, we’ll help you meet your goals faster at Bryan College, with our generous academic and military transfer-credit policies.
