What percentage of the Sloan population is international?
In recent Sloan classes, 60% ofthe Fellows come from outside the U.S. representing approximately 20 different nations. Many participants have lived and worked in more than one nation, and many who hold U.S. passports also have experience working internationally.
What are the educational backgrounds of Sloan Fellows?
Most of our competitive applicants have completed the equivalent of the U.S. bachelor's degree (16 years of education, including primary and secondary schooling) and many have advanced degrees.
How do I receive a visa?
Enrolling students are issued an I-20 or IAP-66 form (with which students apply for either an F-1 or a J-1 visa) through Stanford University. Detailed information will be sent upon your admission to the Stanford Sloan Program.
Can I get on-campus housing?
Stanford housing is available to Sloan Fellows; applications are due in early May. Assignments are made by lottery but typically all Sloan Fellows have been assigned Stanford housing. On-campus housing is suitable for single Fellows, couples, and couples with children.
