Brown is unfortunately unable to pay students their stipends until the students have completed the I-9 process, and the I-9 process can only be completed once the student’s visa has been issued and the student has entered the country. Thus, we are unfortunately unable to pay the stipend prior to your arrival in the US and completion of this process.

We understand that, due to multiple delays and complications caused by COVID-19, a number of students may not be able to arrive on campus prior to the start of Spring 2022. If you are unable to arrive before January 26, 2022, but can expect to arrive in Providence by February 25, 2022, you may be able to matriculate and continue in-person once you arrive, with approval from your department or program.
