Book Store Voucher Policy

Students may apply for a bookstore voucher for a given term up to a maximum amount of $350.00 if their financial aid exceeds their charges for the term, so that they may purchase books and supplies in advance of their actual financial aid disbursement (which occurs 4 weeks into each term).

Eligibility Requirements:

All required financial aid documents have been submitted to the Financial Aid Office
Student has no outstanding balance due to Bryn Athyn College
Student has filed the FAFSA and has financial aid resources that exceed their charges for the term they are requesting voucher

How it Works:

Temporary COVID relief policy: If a student is approved for a bookstore voucher, the approved amount will be refunded in a paper check form. Due to our current process, approved funds may need to be sent directly to a student’s address on file, so please allow adequate time for check processing and mail delivery.
