Is Brown as generous with financial aid as other Ivies?

They are in a situation where, to afford to be generous to the neediest - and IMO the are - they can’t afford to be generous to the slightly better off. The reality is that Brown has a huge middle class doughnut hole. It’s not greed. it’s just how the math works out if they want to increase access to more underprivileged kids.

Yup. Brown’s endowment is $7B (by far the lowest among Ivies) for ~11K students. Princeton’s is $34B for ~9K students.
