Financial Aid at Bryant and Stratton College Ohio

A student’s decision to attend Bryant & Stratton College should be based on interest in our programs and not on the ability to meet all college costs. Bryant & Stratton College believes students should not be denied the opportunity to pursue their career interests because of a lack of financial resources.

To assist students in meeting their educational expenses, Bryant & Stratton College participates in several types of financial assistance programs - gift aid (scholarships and grants), low-interest loans, and employment opportunities. In many cases, our Financial Services Office awards qualified students a financial aid “package” which includes all three types of financial aid.

Assistance with financial planning is available for families on an individual basis to help them determine how they can best utilize their own resources and other funds to meet college costs. The Financial Services Office will gladly discuss the various types of financial assistance available and will provide students with assistance in completing financial forms during their visit to Bryant & Stratton College.

How to Apply
Students are encouraged to meet with a financial aid advisor in order to determine financial aid qualifications. A member of the financial aid staff will help students to complete the following application forms:
Financial Aid Forms - The “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” (FAFSA) is available from the Financial Services Office or apply online at www.FAFSA.ed.gov. The form must be completed and forwarded to the Department of Education, where it is then processed. In some cases, the school may process the student’s application electronically in order to reduce processing time. New York students receive an Express TAP Application (ETA) from NYSHESC. Eligibility for financial assistance is determined by federal and state agencies, which will produce and send an output document directly to the student.
Federal Income Tax Returns - Students may be required to provide the Financial Services Office a copy of their own and/or their spouse’s and/or their parent’s federal and state income tax returns, including schedules, as well as any additional income and asset information requested by the school.
Upon evaluation of the above forms, the Financial Services Office will notify students of their eligibility for financial aid or of any other steps they may take to receive further consideration for assistance.

Students are required to apply on an annual basis for financial aid consideration. Students may obtain the forms described above annually beginning on approximately January 1 at the Financial Services Office for application for the next financial aid year which begins on July 1.

As an Adult and Graduate student, you should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This determines your eligibility for various sources of federal aid.

There are four types of financial aid available at Pace: scholarships, grants, on-campus employment and loans. Our financial aid administrators will develop a package that meets your specific needs. Your package may combine two or more types of aid as well as alternative financing opportunities.

Pace University helps students and families with their college expenses by awarding incentive aid (scholarships) and Pace-supported financial aid. These are grants and do not need to be repaid. In addition to these resources, grants and loans are available through the state and federal government, some of which may need to be repaid.

The only way to see your full funding package is to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available at www.fafsa.ed.gov and indicate that the results be sent to Pace University. Pace’s FAFSA code is: New York City campus: 002791; Pleasantville campus: 002792; White Plains: 002727. We recommend that you file by February 15, after that date not all sources of funding will be available.

Pace University has a strong commitment to academic excellence. Its scholarship and grant programs are designed to award students who have demonstrated superior academic development.

University-sponsored scholarships are awarded to students on the basis of academic merit, service to the community, and financial need. Last year, students at Pace received more than $201 million in aid overall, with 95% of freshmen receiving some type of financial aid.

It is important to recognize that many scholarship opportunities are overlooked by students who are unaware of their availability. Be sure to check all possibilities. We have attempted to make it easier for you to learn about and apply for  scholarships by providing links to both Pace Scholarships, to which you can apply online, and including the “Pace Remembers” 9/11 Memorial Scholarships, and links to many outside scholarships.

Funds for academically talented and creatively gifted students are offered by Ohio University through a variety of scholarships. Additionally, the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships awards scholarships that have special criteria. Your freshmen admissions application serves as an automatic application for all possible University scholarships. Upperclassmen who submit a scholarship application are also considered for all possible upperclass scholarships. You also may want to check with your department or academic advisor to see if there are any other scholarships for which you may want to apply.

Because many scholarships also require verification of financial need, all scholarship applicants are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the Web.

All students interested in obtaining a scholarship must reapply each year, even students who currently have a scholarship.

If you are awarded and accept a scholarship, it means that you agree to abide by any applicable university, federal, and/or state regulations. While scholarship program criteria may vary, the following is generally true for University scholarships excluding some of the Gateway Program Awards. To see if your scholarship has different criteria please review your Award Letter.
Hours Requirement
Excluding Gateway Scholarship recipients, Athens campus students must be registered for at least 16 credit hours for each quarter during the academic year for which you receive a scholarship. You must earn at least 48 hours for the year. If you attend a regional campus and have a regional campus scholarship, you must earn at least 12 hours per quarter with the exception of the Eastern campus which requires 16 hours.

If you are studying abroad, you must meet one of the following criteria to be eligible to use your Ohio University scholarship:
register for at least 16 hours at Ohio University, or
participate on an official Ohio University exchange program, or
enroll at a foreign institution that is a partner school with Ohio University (a listing of such OU partner institutions which accept Exchange and/or Study Abroad students is provided by the Office of Education Abroad), or
be a full-time student on a study abroad program through another four-year state school in Ohio through the Ohio International Consortium, or
participate in a program offered by a program provider designated as an official affiliate of Ohio University or any organization or consortium of which Ohio University is a member (a listing of these providers is available from the Office of Education Abroad).

In other words, students who study abroad through another American university or program provider not indicated above or enroll through direct enrollment at a foreign school that is not one of our foreign partner schools, will not be eligible to use a scholarship from Ohio University during the term or terms of studies abroad.

A college education is one of the most important investments a student and family can make. You and your family will be expected to contribute as much as you can from your own resources (income, savings, and assets) to help meet your college expenses.

The purpose of financial aid is to help students and families meet educational expenses that cannot be met through their own resources. Financial aid can be either need-based or non-need-based. The results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) along with the cost-of-education will determine whether or not a student has financial need.

There are several types of financial aid available. Grants and scholarships are considered “gift aid” because they generally do not have to be repaid. Loans and employment are considered “self-help aid” because loans have to be repaid and by working you earn money for educational expenses. Loans are by far the largest source of financial aid for the majority of students and families. Most grants, some loans (Subsidized Stafford and the Perkins Loan), and Federal Work-Study are need-based financial aid programs. The Unsubsidized Stafford and the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) are considered non-need-based. Scholarships can be based upon merit, financial need or both.

There are four main sources of financial aid. These include the federal government, the state government, the institution and private entities. The federal government is by the far the largest source of financial aid. Approximately two-thirds of all students attending Ohio University receive some type of financial aid from one or more sources.

New freshmen are automatically considered for scholarships with their admission application, although certain Freshman scholarships require a supplemental application. Current students should apply before the March 21 deadline. Students may also apply for other financial aid opportunities by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov after January 1st.

For first consideration of federal campus based aid, students should file the FAFSA before February 15th in order to meet the first priority deadline of March 15.

Freshmen Scholarship deadline is March 1, 2009.
Upperclassmen Scholarship deadline is March 21, 2009.
