All the info you need about Grants and Bryan College: (save for later!)

Bryan College is a very homeschool friendly, Christian college located in Dayton, TN. Bryan is non-denominational, and teaches every class from a biblical worldview. Our motto is Christ Above All and our mission statement is "Education servants of Christ to make a difference in the world." Bryan is SACs accredited (same as UT) and our credits should transfer to most other colleges. We have chapel 2 - 3 times a week and we provide multiple opportunities for service and ministry projects as well mission trips. Our top majors are Engineering, Business, Education, Criminal Justice, Psychology and Exercise Health Science. We have online and on campus dual enrollment and we offer higher degrees online as well. In addition to merit scholarships, which a homeschooled student can earn with a high school GPA or a test score, we offer scholarships for athletics, Martial Arts, theater, music, worship arts, speech and debate and more! We host a one week Summer Institute in July for rising 9th graders to graduating seniors. 90% of the students who attend the camp are homeschooled students. We will be hosting a Homeschool Preview Day on April 4th! Come and visit!

 

After homeschooling my 9 kiddos for more than 30 years, I am finally finished and now I'm the Homeschool Admissions Counselor at Bryan College. I cannot tell you how many conversations I have had with parents who had no idea that certain opportunities existed until it was too late for their students to take advantage of such opportunities. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON FREE MONEY. (Pardon my yelling.) My article for parents of rising seniors can be found here. There are also articles on dual enrollment, scholarships, transcripts, choosing colleges, choosing courses, and more. In addition I have a podcast with short recordings here. Hopefully this email will give you clear and concise information that will help you better prepare your student for college. 

 

VISIT: We would love to have you visit our campus. Feel free to set up a  visit so you can go to classes, chapel, tour the campus and more. We will host a Homeschool Day on April 4th. Matt Papa will be performing in chapel. After the preview day has ended, visitors are also invited to attend a free, live presentation of the Scopes Trial at the courthouse where this famous trial took place 100 years ago!
