How will the economic downturn affect tuition and financial aid for students?
In response to the economic downturn, tuition for academic year 2009-10 increased by only 3 percent over last year, and the overall undergraduate charge, including standard room and board, health, and other fees, increased by only 2.9%. This is the smallest increase since the early 1960’s. At the same time, Brown remains firmly committed to its need-blind admissions policy and to meeting the full need of students receiving financial aid. This commitment is required to ensure that we are able to attract and support the most highly qualified and diverse students. Thus, we plan to continue our current fundraising campaign to increase financial aid resources for students.
