Since the scholarship was announced at the 2018 Black Alumni Reunion, it has received resounding support from the Brown alumni community. To get the scholarship off the ground, donors contributed $130,000 in just four months—enabling the launch of the scholarship for the 2019-20 academic year.

In the last four years, donor support of the IPC BAF Scholarship has continued to grow exponentially, cumulatively supporting 39 students and creating a community of recipients and supporters.

Being a recipient of this scholarship is incredible. People who don't even know me are rooting for me and my success. Knowing that others want to see me win and beat the odds makes me want to do just that and more.

Establish a Named IPC BAF Scholarship

The IPC BAF Scholarship demonstrates not only Brown’s commitment to African American and Black students, but also the greater alumni community’s support of Brown’s efforts to cultivate a diverse and inclusive student body. Through named IPC BAF Scholarships, our community can have an even greater impact.

These scholarships provide need-based financial aid for domestic undergraduate students at Brown. Establishing your own IPC BAF Scholarship requires either a four- or five-year commitment of $25,000+ per year or a one-time gift of $100,000+.
