To be eligible for a fee waiver, applicants to Brown University’s graduate programs must demonstrate financial need.  Applicants will be notified of the status of your waiver upon application submission. 

We recommend submitting your application with a fee waiver request at least two weeks prior to your program submission deadline. A fee waiver may be provisionally applied upon application submission. All uploaded waiver documentation is subject to review and verification. If your documentation is insufficient or ineligible, your waiver will be denied and your application status may revert to unsubmitted until payment is received.
