Facts about the BRIO Scholarship

  • U.S. Federal funding is not available to international students for higher education. Therefore, Brown relies on the generous support of parents, friends, and alumni to subsidize international students in need of financial aid.
  • The average financial aid package for a U.S. citizen at Brown is almost $29,700.
  • The average financial need for a foreign student is $40,000.

  • International students attending American universities generally perform at the highest academic level.

  • On average, 10 percent of Brown undergraduates are not U.S. citizens, among the highest percentage in the Ivy League.
