Bryn Athyn College participates in Title IV federal financial aid programs. Federal financial aid is not available to students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

• Federal Pell Grants
  Pell Grants provide need-based grant aid, and are generally available to students whose Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is $5,235 or less, although final eligibility depends on individual circumstances. This year, grant amounts for full-time students range from $598 to $5,815. Pell Grants do not require repayment.
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)
  FSEOG funds are awarded to Bryn Athyn College annually based on availability of federal funds. The College, in turn, awards the FSEOG funds as supplemental need-based aid to students who are eligible for federal student aid. Priority is granted to Pell recipients with the most financial need. FSEOG awards do not require repayment.
• Federal Work Study
  Federal Work Study funds are awarded to Bryn Athyn College annually based on availability of federal funds. Students with demonstrated financial need may apply for part-time work on campus to assist with their education costs. Students in the Federal Work Study program are paid directly every two weeks unless they arrange with the Bursar to apply their earnings to their student fee accounts.
• Federal Direct Loans for Students and Direct Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
  The US Department of Education administers the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. The program consists of Direct Loans for students and Direct PLUS loans for parents. Direct Loans for students range from $5,500 per year for first-year students to $7,500 per year for juniors or seniors, and offer low rates of interest with interest subsidies provided for needy students. Parents are able to borrow PLUS loan funds up to the cost of attendance of their child minus any other financial aid their child receives. Students who take Direct Loans generally do not have to begin repayment of the principal and interest until six months after graduation or withdrawal.

More information about these federally-funded grant or loan programs can be found online at the US Department of Education website, www.studentaid.ed.gov, or by calling 1-800-4FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). Literature published by the US Department of Education is also available from the College’s Financial Aid Office. 

Institutional grants from Bryn Athyn College are available when federal financial aid does not fully meet the student’s demonstrated financial need. FAFSA filers will automatically be considered for institutional grants; no additional application is needed.

There are several non-need based grants available for students in special categories. Visit https://brynathyn.edu/costs-and-financial-aid/scholarships/ for more information.

All students may apply for part-time, on-campus employment, but priority for jobs is given to students with demonstrated financial need. Student workers are paid semi-monthly, and applications for student employment can be attained from the Human Resources Department:  ude.1501109026nyhta1501109026nyrb@1501109026dlefn1501109026esor.1501109026eener1501109026 | (267) 502-6038. Students who are given on-campus jobs may arrange to pay a portion of their tuition and fees via an automatic payroll deduction over the course of the school year.

The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) offers state grants to students who are legal residents of Pennsylvania. To determine eligibility, complete the FAFSA by May 1 and respond to PHEAA’s request for any additional information. For more information, visit www.pheaa.org.

International students may be eligible for limited institutional grant funding. International students should submit an International Student Certification of Finances (PDF) to be considered for financial aid.

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

What could be a more important investment than a quality education? 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.

As required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act, Bryn Athyn College has adopted a Code of Conduct (PDF) to describe our expectations of integrity while working with students and private lenders.
