Details

  1. Living allowance includes rent, food, and personal expenses for a moderate lifestyle. An additional allowance may be made for eligible dependent children.
  2. Stanford University Cardinal Care medical insurance allowance is included for all students, even if an alternative insurance is used by the student. The single student health insurance rate is quoted for married students on the assumption that the spouse will have separate coverage.
  3. If a student is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and married, the cost of attendance that appears on the award letter will reflect that of a single student. Please note, fellowship eligibility for married U.S. citizen or permanent resident students will be determined based on the married student cost of attendance, and loan eligibility will be determined based on single student cost of attendance. The U.S. Department of Education has established a set of calculations that govern the awarding of federal loans. The federal need analysis system compensates for the cost of additional family members by reducing the amount of income a married student is expected to contribute toward the cost of attendance; the amount is lower than that of a single student with the same income.
  4. There are many ways to meet the global experience requirement. However, two of the ways that the expenses can be added to the cost of attendance are global study trips and overseas service learning trips. The trip expenses may range more or less than the amounts stated above. Also, the actual expense will only be added to your cost of attendance when the Financial Aid Office is informed that a student has been accepted for a specific trip. The GSB plans not only to subsidize these trips but also to provide financial aid in the form of fellowships and loans. Other options to meet the global experience requirement are not included in the cost of attendance, such as Global Management Immersion Experience (GMIX), but may be subsidized by the GSB.
