Need to Speak with a Financial Aid Counselor?
- First, confirm that you have uploaded all necessary documents by logging into your Banner Self-Service portal.
- Most questions can be answered by emailing financial_aid@brown.edu (our current response time is within 3-5 business days).
- To speak with one of our information coordinators, please call 401-863-2721 during the listed hours. If you call between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET on weekdays (M-F), they can connect you directly with a financial aid counselor, no appointment necessary.
Health Insurance & Billing Information (for Students on Financial Aid)
- If your financial aid package includes a Health Insurance Scholarship, you do not need to complete a Health Insurance Waiver Form because the fee is already being covered. If you do not have the scholarship and have your own insurance, you must submit a waiver to have the fee removed from your bill. Instructions for doing so can be found on the Student Health Insurance Plan website.
- For billing and payment questions, contact Student Financial Services.
