The majority of students enrolled in this program are self-supported and/or supported in part by their employers. We encourage master's applicants to maximize funding sources:

	Tuition Assistance Match	Brown University will match up to 20% of your employer’s tuition assistance for the Master’s in Technology Leadership program, for a combined benefit of up to 40% off tuition.* To participate, submit documentation of your employer’s tuition assistance commitment during the enrollment process. Email professional@brown.edu to learn more. *Tuition Assistance Match Rules This benefit cannot be combined with any other scholarship. The match must be arranged before you pay your enrollment deposit; aid generally cannot be added afterward. Only tuition assistance from your primary employer is eligible. Your employer must send the request directly, on company letterhead, stating the amount and terms of its funding. The program may request additional information, verify all details, and deny matching funds when a contribution does not represent legitimate employer-sponsored educational support, including funding from a business owned or controlled by the student.

Military applicants are encouraged to research benefits eligibility for the Post-9/11 GI Bill®; Brown University School of Professional Studies is also a proud participant of the Yellow Ribbon Program.  If you are considering using your GI benefits to fund your tuition, it is more financially advantageous to start in the spring term based on the fiscal year. Please see the FAQ for more information.
