Brown University

 'd like to connect with anyone (male or female) that may have an interest in Brown University.  Attached is a document that outlines the admissions process.  It's fairly comprehensive so I won't go into much detail here.  Obviously academics will be the first question that is asked.  Financial aid for domestic students is "need blind".  Students are accepted without knowing what their financial aid need is.  Brown is committed to meeting 100% of a students demonstrated financial need.  No more student loans either... Brown is now giving grants.

On the rugby front, we have been steadily building over the last couple of years.  This year we won the Ivy League 7's Championship.  We compete in both 15's and in 7's with the grand plan of further developing both programs through the addition of more rugby athletes.  In the short time I have been on this global recruitment push, we have gone from 17% (2015) to 28% (2016) to 34% (2017) of the program having a rugby background.  Next year (fall 2018) we are slated to be above 40%.  

 I am not looking for large numbers of applicants.  I'm looking for those that would like to both further their educational goals at a school such as Brown and those that would like to continue with competitive rugby.  

 Hopefully there's one or two players that come to mind.
