Graduate Program in Neuroscience

Fees and Financial Support

Breadcrumb

All Neuroscience Graduate Program and Brown-NIH Graduate Partnership Program students are fully supported during their time in graduate school. Students will receive a competitive stipend, tuition, health insurance, and health services fee. Students also receive a one-time transitional stipend at the beginning of graduate study to help defray the cost of moving to Providence and transitioning to Brown. No financial support forms need to be submitted by applicants.

The Graduate School provides fee waivers for students who can demonstrate financial need. You must complete the Needs-Based Application Fee Waiver section on the Additional Information page of the online application and upload the required documentation along with your application. Please visit the Graduate School website for more detailed instructions and a list of acceptable documentation.

More About Fee Waivers

Fee waivers are available for applicants who are members of SACNAS, MARC, BP-ENDURE, Leadership Alliance, RISE programs, Teach for America, or similar programs. Please contact NSGP at least 7 days in advance of the application deadline and provide proof of program participation. If you do not reach out at least 7 days in advance, we may not be able to provide you with a fee waiver.

Hello,

I would like to request an application fee waiver for the NSGP program and I believe the program I have participated in should be eligible for a fee waiver.
