Undergraduate Financial Aid

Undergraduate Financial Aid

Brown’s commitment to affordability has never been stronger.

Brown meets 100% of each student's demonstrated financial need.  And we do this without including loans in University financial aid packages. The Brown Promise, along with our newest initiatives, have been established to make Brown increasingly affordable to students and families from all backgrounds.

We believe that making an impact and addressing critical issues in the world demands an undergraduate experience that reflects a diversity of views, backgrounds and life experiences.  We actively seek students from all income levels and consider financial need separately from the admissions process for most applicants.
