Full Transcript

If you are an international student thinking about coming to study in America, but you simply don't have the money or you come from a very poor family, then you need to listen to this. There is a school in America that can give you a full scholarship in order to come and study here. Now, the name of this school is called Brown University.

Now, Brown University is located in the state of Rhode Island, and it's actually an Ivy League school, meaning that it's quite competitive to get into. However, they do have this very unique policy where they guarantee that they'll meet 100% of your demonstrated financial needs. And basically what that means in simple English is if you get accepted to Brown University and you've applied for financial aid and you don't have any money to attend, then they can give you a full scholarship in order to cover your cost of attendance. And by full scholarship, what I mean is they can give you money for your tuition, your fees, your housing, your food, and even your medical insurance.

So, there's so many great opportunities in order to get funding at Brown University if you come from a very poor family. So, this is what I mean by meeting 100% of your demonstrated financial needs.

Now, Brown University is an amazing school, but as I said, it is quite competitive to get into. So, what you need to do if you really interested in going to Brown University and potentially getting this full scholarship is by applying to them early decision. Now, early decision means that you are going to tell Brown University that they are your number one school. And basically if you get accepted to them then you will withdraw all your other applications from every other school that you've applied to. And that's basically what early decision means.

Now if you apply early decision which is also going to be typically earlier than regular decision. If you apply early decision to Brown University then the acceptance rates jump. And what I mean by that is instead of the typical 5 to 6% acceptance rate that Brown has for their regular decision, for early decision, their acceptance rates are over 15%. So that means that you can get a much higher chance of getting accepted to Brown University if you apply early decision to them.

So if you're interested in applying to Brown University, definitely look at early decision. Now, in order to apply to them, you do need to have written the SAT or the ACT. So, also make sure that you have done that in order to apply to them. And you also need to fill out the CSS profile and submit it to Brown University. Unfortunately, there's not really much of a waiver over here. So, you're going to have to pay in order to submit your CSS profile. However, it isn't that much money. So, right now it will probably cost you under $40 in order to submit it to Brown University.

Now, the other beautiful thing about Brown University is that they accept international transfer students. And what I mean by international transfer students is if you are a student in a college or university in your home country right now, but you haven't completed your bachelor's degree, then you can actually come and transfer to Brown University. And if you transfer to Brown University, they also still guarantee that they'll meet 100% of your demonstrated financial needs, meaning that if you come from a very poor family, you could still get a full scholarship in order to study there.

So again, this is an amazing opportunity and you definitely need to apply to it if you're interested in studying in America as an international student.
