<p>Brown is being very generous with us. It is true that Brown’s finaid might be a bit lower than some of the other top schools, but the folks at the office are really lovely and perhaps would be willing to help if a problem arose. Daughter received two scholarships: The larger one is the normal financial aid, and the second one is the one-time only Work Scholarship to replace the Work/Study requirement that she will do in subsequent years. To me, that is a really valuable part of the package, and speaks to the school’s understanding of the potential difficulties in the first year.</p>
