<p>Could any current students with 100k-125k income tell me what their Brown financial aid packages looked like?</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>yeah i need to know too, princeton and harvard will give you like 35-40k a year in scholarships with that kind of income</p>
<p>My family makes around 105k, and my family contribution for this upcoming year is 20k.</p>
<p>^^sounds about like me. </p>
<p>don't you love how they reduced our student loans but increased our EFC?</p>
<p>hey bicycle, that may be true, but i'd rather pay 20k and go to brown any day</p>
<p>The answer depends on how many other siblings there are, whether any of them are in college, what your family's assets are, what your home equity is, how close to retirement your parents are, etc. A lot more goes into calculating your financial aid package than just annual income.</p>
<p>Fireandrain got it right.</p>
<p>ya we make about 105k and my efc is around 12-15 k but i have a sister in college and i appealed and got 2,000 dollars... so</p>
<p>is there a limit to how much you can get in loans? say my parents contribute 10k and i want the rest in loans, is that possible?</p>
<p>Brown will you to the full cost of one year beyond your parents contribution as set by the Feds. Brown doesn't give you loans, you qualify for Federal Stafford or Perkins loans through FAFSA. If you don't qualify through FAFSA for those loans, as with anywhere else in the country, you will not be able to get them. You'll have to get third party loans.</p>
<p>Are these guidelines the same for international students or is it a completely different process?...</p>
<p>Completely different process. You're not eligible, as far as I know, for federally subsidized loans, they're only for citizens of the US.</p>
<p>Where in Israel are you from? I have a lot of family there.</p>
<p>I see.. Not suprising I guess..Thanks for the answer. Any idea how it does work then? What are we eligible for and how is it determined?</p>
<p>Somewhere in the north... :)</p>
<p>My family is from Balfourya just outside of Afula, between Nazareth and Tabour.</p>
<p>I, of course, have some all over the place though, a couple in the Golan, some in Tel Aviv, some down south near Beersheva...</p>
<p>And honestly, I don't know much about the foreign aid process. Hopefully one of the international kids will pop up in this thread. It may be worth making a separate thread about.</p>
<p>Hehe, well it's a small country, I have some all over the place too. </p>
<p>Yeah, I guess should do that. Or just keep digging for more information online...thanks :)</p>
<p>lolly: Or even better, call, or send an email, to Brown and any of the schools you are interested in.</p>
