Brown Scholarship
ListedCollege program
- Award
- $48,000 per year, renewable annually for up to eight semesters while maintaining Southwestern satisfactory academic progress. Any additional individual offer terms should be checked in the award letter.
- Deadline
- Admission and merit application by the first Tuesday in December; required Brown interview by the first Tuesday in February. Fall 2027 cycle years are not explicitly published.
- How to apply
- The admission application also serves as the merit application. Submit the required application essay, school recommendation or accepted secondary-school report, and official high-school transcript. Complete the Brown interview by the published recurring deadline; a campus visit and letter of interest are encouraged.
- What you'll need
- No separate application: you are considered when you apply for admission
- Recommendations
- An essay
- An interview
- Who can apply
- Top 5% class rank, or at least 3.8 unweighted GPA if the school does not rank. Financial need is not a factor in academic merit selection.
- Good to know
- Southwestern's current general scholarship policy covers Brown renewal under its eight-semester SAP rule and lists Brown in the stacking rules. No Brown-specific numeric GPA condition is stated. Application and interview deadlines are given as first Tuesdays in December and February without a current cycle year.
