Brown University Match Scholarship For high school students applying to the National College Match in 2009
Brown University has a long history of providing educational opportunities to talented students of all backgrounds, and is strongly committed to assisting families in meeting their demonstrated financial need.
Financial need is evaluated by reviewing applications and family circumstances. Several factors including total family income, household size, and number of household members in college are taken into account. A family's assets (savings, investments, real estate) may also be considered. Families who earn less than $60,000 and with assets of less than $100,000 will not be expected to make a contribution toward the cost of education. Students will have an expected contribution from summer work as well as a campus job during the school year. Scholarship DetailsGlossary of terms appearing in scholarship package details
Outside Scholarships and your Financial Aid Package Receiving outside scholarships and tuition benefits is an excellent way to help reduce your need to work and/or borrow student loans while at Brown.
