<p>I have always heard internationals requiring aid can be hard, but I’ve wanted some real data. So I googled international student aid at Brown and I found a link from the BDH about a recent increase in the international student aid fund.</p>
<p><a href=“http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2007/03/07/CampusNews/More-Money.For.Intl.Student.Financial.Aid.In.New.U.Budget-2762024.shtml[/url]”>http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2007/03/07/CampusNews/More-Money.For.Intl.Student.Financial.Aid.In.New.U.Budget-2762024.shtml</a> </p>
<p>“Dean of Admission James Miller '73 estimated that 30 of the 110 international students in the class of 2010 are on financial aid, The Herald reported Sept. 25.”</p>
<p>But with the new budget increase, “(the new funds) will allow the admission office to award aid to roughly nine or 10 additional international students”.</p>
<p>So assuming Brown accepts the same number of internationals in 2008, then 40 out of the 110 international students will receive aid. I need to try and find how many international students actually applied but until I find that you can pretty much assume that you are competing for about 40 coveted spots in a pool of most likely hundreds of international applicants.</p>
