Apply For Federal Aid Using FAFSA

Financial aid is available if you qualify through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). There are several types of federal aid options available, such as federal grants and loans.

Students must submit their FAFSA application each year to qualify for federal financial aid. Bryan University’s FAFSA’s school code is 007164.

Federal Grants


Through FAFSA, the government provides various grants to students attending college or career schools. Unlike loans, most grants are sources of financial aid that do not need to be repaid. 

Types of grants include the following:

  • Federal Pell Grants 


    Awarded to students with exceptional financial need and have not earned a bachelor’s, graduate, or professional degree. 

    The maximum Federal Pell Grant award is $7,395 for the 2023-2024 award year.

  • Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant


    Awarded to students whose parent or guardian was a member of the U.S. armed forces and died as a result of military service, were under 24 years old or enrolled in college at least part-time at the time of your parent’s or guardian’s death, meet the remaining Federal Pell Grant eligibility requirements, and are not eligible for a Federal Pell Grant on the basis of your Expected Family Contribution. 

    The award is equal to the amount of a maximum Federal Pell Grant for the award year but cannot exceed your cost of attendance for the award year.

  • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)


    Awarded to students with exceptional financial need. 

    The FSEOG award ranges from $100-$4,000 a year depending on financial need.

Federal Loans


Through FAFSA, you may be eligible for loans as part of your financial aid package. This is borrowed money that you must pay back with interest. 

Typically, federal student loans have more benefits than loans from banks or other private sources. There are several types of Direct Loans available through FAFSA. Types of loans including the following:

  •  Direct Subsidized Loans


    Undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need to help cover the cost of college or career school are eligible for direct subsidized loans.

    Direct Subsidized Loans range from $5,500-$12,500 per year.

  • Direct Unsubsidized Loans


    Undergraduate, graduate, or professional students are eligible for direct unsubsidized loans. Eligibility is not based on financial need.

    Direct Unsubsidized Loans range from $5,500-$12,500 per year.

  • Direct PLUS Loans


    Graduate or professional students, and parents of dependent undergraduate students are eligible for PLUS loans to help pay for expenses that are not covered by other financial aid. Eligibility is not based on financial need, but a credit check is required. 

    Direct PLUS Loans range depending on the remaining college costs, determined by the institution, that are not covered by other financial aid items.
