It is great that you are taking so much responsibility for this. But you need to get your parents involved. They know their financial situation better than you. If they can come up with a reason that there is a hardship, that their income or assets look greater than they appear, etc., then you might have a chance.

Brown admitted you, which is wonderful. So they really want you. Now, you need to give them an excuse to use their endowment to make it easier to help you attend. Without an excuse, they won’t do much. But if you offer them a sound reason (not just that you won’t be able to afford it), then they are pretty generous. At least, they were in our situation. Good luck.
