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, Bryan College allows students’ bills to be deferred for one semester for their TN STRONG Act payment to come through. If eligibility requirements are not met or the student reaches their TN STRONG Act yearly limit, they will then be expected to pay the balance in order to continue with future classes.
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.

Leaving the service is a difficulty that most military personnel are not prepared for, especially not for their identity to be stripped away an instant. At Bryan College, I found myself surrounded by people who helped re-center my identity in Christ, a place where every single one of my professors knows me by name. In the service, I was known as Sergeant, a title that could be taken away with the stroke of a pen. At Bryan College, I was reminded that I’m Mark, child of the one true king, a title that nobody could take away from me.
