Financial Aid Inquiries

Brown’s financial aid experts are available to assist students and their families with navigating the financial aid process. 

If you have questions regarding your financial aid offer or status, please feel free to reach out to our office. Like all aid offices, we are facing new and different challenges this year due to the implementation of FAFSA Simplification and the related delays in FAFSA processing. We appreciate your patience as we diligently work to establish and finalize 2024-2025 aid eligibility.

Office Hours

Office hours are generally Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), with the exception of Wednesdays, when our office is temporarily closed to in-person visitors; however, we will be available for phone calls from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
