Advance and Support the Mission

There are many ways to give back.

Your gift can change the world exponentially, whether through monetary gifts or gifts of service. The Advancement team is here to help you understand your Time, Talents, and Treasure and how those can make a difference on campus and in the greater community.

Your donation directly impacts the spiritual and educational development of our students by:

  • Funding scholarships. (95% of our traditional students receive scholarship funding.)
  • Recruiting, hiring, and retaining top faculty and staff.
  • Building, updating, and maintaining facilities.
  • Meeting future needs and opportunities.

Projects & Opportunities

We are to help you discover how your time, talents, and treasure can meaningfully impact campus life and the wider community.

The Bryan Opportunity Scholarship Program opens the doors of Bryan College to academically qualified Tennessee students who have significant financial need. Each April, friends of Bryan gather in Chattanooga for a special dinner where sponsorships and gifts provide vital funding for this life-changing scholarship. Over the years, our guests have been inspired and entertained by nationally recognized leaders and performers, including Ben Carson, Wintley Phipps, Selah, Mark Lowry, Steve Green, and Signature Sound.

Our estate design services assist individuals in stewarding their estate by ensuring that their assets are transferred to their family members, charitable beneficiaries, and others at the lowest possible cost and with the fewest delays. Planned Giving educates and guides non-cash giving, such as land, stock, personal property, etc., and gifts that provide income (Charitable Gift Annuities).

The Bryan College Advisory Boards exist to support and partner with faculty to create a vision for growth. Each board is made up of alumni and friends who give of their time, talent, and treasure by acting as eyes and ears to the outside world, exchanging communication and ideas with faculty, and generating donations to department funds. Existing boards include the Athletic Advisory Board, Business Advisory Board, Christian Ministry Advisory Board, Education Advisory Board, and Engineering Advisory Board.

Bryan Life is our alumni magazine that keeps you connected with your fellow Lions both on the Hill and around the world. Read updates sent in by your classmates, see what’s new on campus, meet students and faculty, and rekindle memories of your time on the Hill through this biannual publication.
