• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
  FSEOG is a federal grant awarded to undergraduate students based on an annual funds’ availability basis.  Priority is granted to Pell grant recipients who have the highest financial need.
• Federal Work-Study (FWS)
  Federal Work-Study is awarded to students who have demonstrated financial need.  Amount of awards varies and is dependent upon the allocation of funds from the federal government.  Students may obtain a position on campus and work up to a maximum of 20 hours per week during an academic term.  They will be paid for wages earned and may opt to have all or a portion of their pay applied directly to their student billing account to be applied towards their charges by contacting bursar@brynathyn.edu
• Federal Direct Student Loan Program (FDSL)
  The US Department of Education offers both the subsidized and unsubsidized student loans through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.
  • Subsidized Loan:  Students must demonstrate financial need and be enrolled at least half time (minimum 4.5 credits) per term.  An origination fee will be deducted from the loan amount prior to disbursement of funds. The federal origination fee for loans originated between October 1, 2024 and October 1, 2025 is 1.057%..  No interest will accrue while a student is enrolled at least half time, during grace period, and during any deferment periods.
  • Unsubsidized Loan:  Eligibility is not based on financial need. Interest will accrue during all periods—during enrollment, grace period, and deferment periods. The origination fee is the same as the subsidized loan and the current interest rate as of July 1, 2024, and before July 1, 2025, is 6.53% for undergrad.
• Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
  The Federal Direct PLUS loan is available for eligible parents to borrow funds to assist in paying the educational expenses for a dependent undergraduate student enrolled at least half time (minimum 4.5 credits) per term. This loan can be up to a maximum amount of the COA minus all other financial aid awards. An origination fee will be deducted from the loan amount prior to the disbursement of funds.  The loan origination fee for loans disbursed before Oct. 1, 2023 is 4.228%.  Interest will accrue from the time loan proceeds are disbursed until it is paid in full.  The interest rate as of July 1, 2022, and before July 1, 2023 is 7.54%.

The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) administers the Pennsylvania (PA) State Grant Program.  This program is a financial assistance program that provides funding to eligible Pennsylvanians and helps them afford the costs of higher education at the undergraduate level.  A PA State Grant is based on financial need and awarded to those students who meet the eligibility requirements.  To determine eligibility, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form by May 1^st and respond directly to PHEAA’s request for any additional information.

Tuition-remission eligible students must annually submit the Tuition Remission Form.

Tuition Prepayment Certificates (TPCs) help you save now for a child's future education. This program allows you to set money aside for ANC Secondary School and Bryn Athyn College tuition throughout the course of your child’s lifetime. Because your TPC is invested, it returns interest and increases your original investment. For more information, or to purchase TPCs, please view the Tuition Prepayment Certificates brochure.

Parents and students (with an eligible co-signer) may be eligible to borrow educational loans through private lenders.  Privates loans should only be considered after all other forms of financial aid including federal direct student loans have been exhausted.  Interest rates and borrowing terms will differ among every lender and should be reviewed carefully before deciding on and proceeding with applying.  For more information about some lenders commonly used by Bryn Athyn students and parents, visit the ELM Select comparison resource.

Also, as required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act, Bryn Athyn College has adopted a Code of Conduct which describes our expectations of integrity while working with students/parents and private lenders.
