ExplanationAlthough students and their families bear the primary responsibility for meeting costs, many find they cannot pay the full cost of an education by themselves. In most cases, a financial aid package will involve family contributions, acceptance of federal assistance (including grants and loans), and financial aid from John Brown University. These financial assistance programs help fill the gap between the amount a family is expected to pay and the total educational cost. The amount the family is expected to pay is based on information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The tuition assistance is applied to the student's account and therefore, no cash changes hands.ExplanationTxt
