For eligible individuals interested in returning to pursue their higher education degree, Bryan is offering a one-time, $1,000 First Responder Scholarship, applicable towards Bryan College Online.

“Bryan College first and foremost continues to lift our brave first responders and their families in prayer throughout the current COVID-19 response,” said Chief Mike Kennedy, coordinator of Military and First Responder Programs at Bryan College. “We cannot thank them enough for their sacrifices during this time. By offering the First Responder Scholarship, we are wanting to say ‘thank you’ for all of their hard work and service they have selflessly provided our community.”
Through this scholarship, Bryan is also providing a no-cost evaluation to assess needed training and education, and will allow all previously earned credits to go towards their degree program at Bryan.
