Investing in graduate education: The decision to pursue graduate study represents a significant commitment of time, energy, and resources — yours and ours.  It's important for you to know that Brown University invests deeply in graduate education, from faculty and facilities to financial support for doctoral students.   

Students who are admitted to any of Brown's doctoral programs are guaranteed five years of support, including a stipend, tuition remission, health-services fee, and health-insurance subsidy.

Financial aid for master’s students is not centrally managed and varies among programs; the majority of students enrolled in master’s programs and engaged in non-degree study are self-supported. If you are interested in a master’s program and have questions about financial aid, please contact the program’s director of graduate study.  

Students’ official letters of admission provide details of their funding packages: All subsequent funding decisions are made at the program level and depend on students' academic progress. Students with questions or concerns regarding their funding should address them to the program’s director of graduate study.
