Hey y'all. I'm starting my college search and I'm pretty interested in Stanford. I've been struggling to find consistent info about their annual tuition. Does anyone know the average cost per year for attending Stanford? And are there additional fees I should be aware of?
Hey there! Stanford University's tuition for the 2024-2025 academic year is approximately $65,127. However, keep in mind that this figure may change slightly each year due to adjustments for inflation or other factors. In addition to tuition, there are a few other expenses to consider such as:
1. Room & Board: Approximately $21,315 per year.
2. Books & Supplies: While the cost of books and supplies varies depending on your major, you can expect to spend around $825 per year.
4. Personal Expenses: Stanford estimates that students will need about $3,225 for miscellaneous personal expenses like clothing, laundry, and entertainment.
5. Travel: This is variable based on your location.
Please note that these numbers can vary and may change over time.
On a positive note, Stanford is known for its robust financial aid program, which is designed to meet 100% of a student's demonstrated need. Financial aid packages usually include a combination of scholarships, grants, work-study, and low-interest loans.
In fact, for families with an annual income below $150,000, Stanford typically offers grant aid that covers the full tuition cost. Additionally, families with an annual income below $65,000 often receive aid covering not only tuition but also room and board.
I recommend using Stanford's Net Price Calculator on their website to estimate your financial aid eligibility and get a better understanding of the costs you may need to pay. Good luck with your college search!
