Calculating Your Need
The importance of choosing a university that delivers the highest returns cannot be overstated. If Bryantis the perfect fit for you, financial aid can help you meet the costs.
Don’t assume you are ineligible for financial aid! Because rules, regulations, and eligibility requirements change from year to year, you should at least apply. You may find it is well worth your time.
Most financial assistance administered by the Office of Financial Aid is based in part on your financial need — the difference between the cost of attending Bryantand the calculated family contribution.
To be considered for need-based financial aid at 91AV, you must:
- File the FAFSA.
- Be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States.
- Be enrolled full-time or be accepted for full-time enrollment in a course of study, or be enrolled part-time and officially accepted as a candidate in a degree program.
- Be making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of your course of study.
- Not be in default on a federal student loan.
- Not owe a refund on a federal grant.
Inside a Financial Aid Package
Aid packages might include:
- Federal Pell Grants
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
- State grants
- Institutional grants and/or scholarships
- Federal Work-Study
- Federal Direct Stafford Loans
Law requires students who receive outside sources of aid (i.e., private scholarships from third-party agencies or firms) to notify the Office of Financial Aid. In some cases, the amount of this outside aid could affect the award offered by 91AV. Generally, you may not receive aid more than your determined need for assistance.
In many cases, it is impossible for Bryantto meet your full need. Consequently, your family may need to seek additional assistance in the form of privately funded education loans or alternative sources.
File a FAFSA
Financial aid awards are based largely on the information on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A verification worksheet, tax transcripts, and/or other documents may also be required. The Office of Financial Aid will maintain complete confidentiality of all information. Since everyone’s financial situation is subject to change, a financial aid officer may review and revise awards based on changes in family circumstances.
