Q&A: Financial Aid
What is the cost of the MBA Program? Is financial aid available?
Business school is a significant investment—both in time and money. However, graduates believe that their MBA education was a lifelong investment in their own personal development.
For current tuition information, please refer to the Related Links box. Depending on marital status, if you live on campus you should expect to budget an additional $20,000-$30,000 for living costs, books, and other expenses. Please be assured that your financial need does not affect admission decisions.
The staff of the Financial Aid Office is committed to helping you fund your MBA education once you are admitted to the MBA Program. We provide various types of aid, both need-based and non-need-based, to students who qualify for assistance. Approximately two-thirds of our MBA students receive financial aid annually. There are no research or teaching assistantships for MBA students. For additional information, please visit the Financial Aid section of our website.
Is there financial aid available for non-United States citizens?
The Stanford University Graduate School of Business has partnered with the Stanford Federal Credit Union (SFCU) and Citibank to provide private educational loans to international Business School students. There may be other private educational loans for international students. However, many private educational loans do not offer the combination of relatively low interest rates with the possibility of not requiring a US co-signer for the loan.
