Scholarships
In addition to its deep commitment to need-based financial aid, Brandeis maintains its own strong scholarship and fellowship program. These opportunities are determined primarily on merit, but financial need is considered as well.
Approximately one of every five members of the freshman class receives scholarship awards ranging from $5,000 to full tuition per year for four years. This year, Brandeis awarded undergraduate students approximately $38 million in scholarship and grant assistance.
To be considered for a scholarship, a student must submit the CSS/PROFILE, available at www.CollegeBoard.com. Even those students from families with strong financial resources are encouraged to file the CSS/PROFILE; many scholarship holders at Brandeis report family incomes of $100,000 or more.
