Financial Aid and Tuition

Government-sponsored and private education loans

The Office of Financial Aid can help you review financing options through government-sponsored and private education loan programs. U.S. citizens and permanent residents are encouraged to apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For information, please visit www.fafsa.ed.gov.

These loans are unavailable to international students.

Although the majority of the University’s on-campus employment opportunities are reserved for full-time undergraduates with eligibility for Federal Work-Study funding, some part-time student positions may, on occasion, be available to full-time graduate students. Contact the Office of Financial Aid for further information.

Employer-sponsored tuition assistance

Bryant University accepts payments directly from a number of employers who have tuition assistance programs. In other cases, students may be eligible for reimbursement of educational expenses. Contact your employer for details.
