Stanford Graduate Students
Thank you for your interest in the Program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Below you can find program information specific to current Stanford graduate students.
Admitted Stanford graduate students are awarded a tuition subsidy by the University and are only responsible for a small portion of the full $10,000 tuition rate. Stanford students only pay $750 personally.
Stanford graduate students are also encouraged to apply to the Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship (SIE). The Application link for Stanford students allows you to apply to one or both programs. The chart below gives you a quick comparison of these two programs. You may also visit the SIE website for more detailed information.

What is the cancellation policy?
The Program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship tuition for Stanford graduate students already paying tuition is heavily subsidized by the University. Out of consideration for those on the waiting list and in order to send program materials in advance, we have established the following cancellation policy:
- If cancellation occurs after payment has been made and before December 31, 2011, the tuition fee will not be refunded.
- If cancellation occurs after December 31, 2011, you may be responsible for a cancellation fee of $5,000 if your spot in the class cannot be filled.
- Nonpayment of fee does not constitute cancellation. Written notification is required.
