Q:What is Brown's expected student contribution? Does Brown actually collect this money from the students or is it just a suggestion?
Brown states the following regarding expected family contribution: “Your expected family contribution is comprised of a Student Contribution and a Parent Contribution.
The Student Contribution includes a percentage of your student assets plus a standard summer earning expectation required for all first year students. This component of the student contribution is earned from summer employment and is generally used towards some of the indirect expenses such as books and travel.
The Parent Contribution is determined by considering many different factors related to your family such as parent total income, assets, number of dependent undergraduate children in college, age of parents, marital status, and federal and state taxes paid.”
Depending on how much “need” you have for financial aid, your family contribution may only be a suggestion to cover the indirect expenses. In other cases, your family contribution will be what you need to pay for direct expenses. It really just depends on the information provided on your FAFSA.
