SchD_P03_S00_L04	Schedule D, Part III, Line 4	The University holds various pieces of art, which are displayed for the educational enrichment of our students. As proposed by writer John Henry Newman in Idea of a University, a broad intellectual environment including the arts provides a robust academic experience for students. As such, all JBU students, regardless of major, benefit from displays of art within the educational context.
SchD_P05_S00_L04	Schedule D, Part V, Line 4	Endowed funds fund scholarships administered by the university in accordance with guidelines established together by the donor and the university. Endowed Scholarships live on in perpetuity, distributing funds to deserving students year after year. The funds given to the university are invested, and 5 percent of the five-year average market value of the funds is awarded to students in the form of annual scholarships. Endowed funds also support several non-scholarship projects including two centers, The Center for Relationship Enrichment and The Soderquist Center for Leadership and Ethics.

SchE_P01_S00_L03	Schedule E, Part I, Line 3	The University's nondiscriminatory statement is included in local and regional newspaper advertising.
SchE_P01_S00_L06	Schedule E, Part I, Line 6	The federal government awards the University various monies restricted for student financial aid. The monies are awarded through three federal programs: Pell Grant (Pell), Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and Federal Work Study (FWS). Pell provides eligible students a foundation of financial aid to assist with defraying the costs of post-secondary education. Because the grants are classified as passthrough grants in the amount of $2,826,807 and $2,314,554 for the years ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, they are excluded from income and expense on these combined statements. The FSEOG program provides need based grants to low income undergraduate students to promote access to post-secondary education. The University received and disbursed $128,449 and $128,291 of FSEOG awards during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The FWS program provides part-time employment to students who need the earnings to help meet their post-secondary education costs. The program is also inteded to broaden the range of worthwhile job opportunities to qualified students. The University received and disbursed $149,454 and $178,172 of FWS awards during fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.

SchI_P01_S00_L02	Schedule I, Part I, Line 2	Although students and their families bear the primary responsibility for meeting costs, many find they cannot pay the full cost of an education by themselves. In most cases, a financial aid package will involve family contributions, acceptance of federal assistance (including grants and loans), and financial aid from John Brown University. These financial assistance programs help fill the gap between the amount your family is expected to pay and the total educational cost. The amount the family is expected to pay is based on information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA).
