<p>Looking at my Award letter, I noticed a “Student Contribution from Income: $2150” and a “University Work Scholarship: $2300” I assume the Work Scholarship is the scholarship granted to freshmen from the $100 million donation from an alumn and I won’t be receiving it again this year. Is that the case?</p>
<p>Also, I called and they told me the Student Contribution from Income of $2150 is there for all students on their award letters. If I don’t receive the University Work Scholarship again next year (sophomore year), are they assuming me to pay the “Student Contribution from Income” plus whatever I received this year ($2300) in the “University Work Scholarship” for a grand total of $2150+$2300??</p>
<p>student contribution covers your personal expenses; you dont pay it to Brown, you keep it to pay for your estimated expense on books/beer/fodd/laundry/travel etc.</p>
<p>I believe they made it smaller than 2150 though, but that could be because of my need; call and find out specifically.</p>
<p>The work scholarship is unrelated to Sidney Frank’s donation; brown has covered freshmen workstudy for a few years now.</p>
<p>The student contribution usually means summer employment, while workstudy is during the year.</p>
<p>Well, the Student Contribution for income is added to my Parent Contribution. We just sent them the money for the total (combined student and parent) “Family Contribution” a week ago.</p>
<p>I’m not sure I quite follow…</p>
<p>that doesnt make sense since personal expenses+travel on average are around 2500 and Brown sure doesn’t handle any of those. These expenses are included in your total cost of attendance but should not be included in the bill.</p>
<p>hey, i didn’t see you had posted on the main board so i replied to this post on the '09 board</p>
