Scholarship Application Guide: 
To make an application, you need to note the following;

i. Applicants should submit the majority of their application using the Common Application website by the January 5th regular deadline. 

ii. Brown recommends having all official documents, including transcripts and recommendations, sent through the Common Application. Brown has also partnered with slate.org through which counselors may upload materials directly for applicants. If this is not an option, please arrange to have your materials sent by email to documents@brown.edu. In the absence of other electronic submission options, items may be faxed to 401-863-9300. Please do not mail duplicate hard copies of items that have been sent to Brown, as this can slow processing times.

iii. After your application has been received, the Office of College Admission will send applicants a username and password that they can use to check the completeness of their application and upload optional supplementary material.

iv. Due to processing time, it is likely that any document received by the Admissions office will not be entered into the application database until a week after it has been received. If you have recently submitted a document, please understand that it may take a week or more before it is listed on your application account as having been received. Brown will email you to let you know if any required documents are missing from your application file. Find more information on the admission requirements on the Brown Application Checklist page.
