Investing in Student Success

Where opportunity meets ambition.

At Bryant, talent rises — when we give it the chance.

Scholarships open doors for bold thinkers, first-generation trailblazers, driven student-athletes, and future innovators who push limits and create impact. When you invest in scholarships, you invest in students who shape the world ahead.

The future we’re building:
Every Bryant student — no matter their background — has the access, confidence, and opportunity to lead, innovate, and make lasting impact.

Bryant Opportunity Fund

Breaking barriers. Transforming futures.

Some of the most talented minds arrive at Bryant ready to rise — but face real financial obstacles. The Opportunity Fund provides full tuition support for Pell-eligible and first-generation students, unlocking upward economic mobility and giving them the chance to thrive.

PWC AI in Accounting Fellowship

Thanks to a $1.5 million investment from PwC, Bryant recently launched the PwC AI in Accounting Fellowship program — an experiential learning initiative that offers undergraduates a unique opportunity to explore the transformative power of AI in accounting. Fellows will work closely with faculty to create personalized learning plans and gain access to a variety of educational resources that will prepare them for the future of the profession. 

Transformative Fellowships

Where learning leaps off the page and into the world.

Fellowships at Bryant aren’t résumé fillers — they are life-changing experiences. Students take on internships, launch service projects, explore global challenges, and work directly with faculty on high-impact learning experiences.

With your support, more students can:

  • Test ideas in the field
  • Challenge assumptions and grow resilience
  • Gain global and professional experience
  • Build confidence and leadership that lasts a lifetime

The future:
More fellowships mean more students gain the grit, agility, and real-world readiness to make an impact from day one.

Bryant Scholarship Fund

Opening doors for the leaders of tomorrow.

Your generosity ensures that the best students — the dreamers, doers, and problem-solvers — can access a Bryant education regardless of financial need. These scholarships fuel ambition, strengthen our community, and help every student step into their potential.

“I believe that Bryant University definitely provides the platform to make students thrive and to really home in on their passions. For myself personally, I found that Bryant fit well with my multifaceted identity. Being somebody that is interested in immunology, epidemiology, but also fashion and communication, I found that Bryant is foundational and comprehensive in the way that you are allowed to do so much and still not burn yourself out or create a complete impact and really see the fruits of your labor and your hard work.”
