Full scholarships for military veterans

In October 2023, Brown marked major milestones in its efforts to expand support for U.S. military veterans: welcoming its largest-ever cohort of new undergraduate student veterans; doubling the total enrollment of those students one year ahead of schedule; and surpassing an ambitious fundraising goal to permanently fund full scholarships for future generations of student veterans. The success stemmed from a sweeping initiative launched on Veterans Day in 2019, which expanded recruiting efforts, increased financial support and removed barriers to enable more military veterans to achieve a Brown undergraduate education. Turning Brown into an affordable choice and a supportive educational environment for a broader segment of the nation’s courageous veterans not only honored their service, but also enhanced the education of all Brown students.
