The estimated cost of attending Stanford University for one academic year of three quarters (September to June) for undergraduates is approximately ranging between 23,000 $ to 36,000 $ for a student. And for graduate is approximately ranging between 30,000 $ to 38,000 $ for a student.
Scholarships and Financial Aid:
Stanford University has limited financial aid resources for international students. Stanford can offer admission with financial aid to only about 40 applicants a year. Thus they admit only a small percentage of the hundreds of applicants who need financial aid, and the amount of aid needed will be a factor in the admission decision.
Admitted students demonstrating need according to the Financial Aid Office's uniform method of analysis will first receive a combination of student loans and eligibility for an on-campus job. If there is additional need beyond the self-help expectation, Stanford will offer a scholarship or grant to meet the remaining need. Financial aid recipients are expected to take substantial responsibility for financing their own education.
Housing:
A number of campus housing options are available to students: dormitory rooms, apartments, and cooperative houses. Single students and students who are attending Stanford without their spouse, partner, or children are eligible for assignment to Single Student Housing.

The arts community thrives at Stanford with academic divisions in music, drama, art and dance offering classes, lectures, performances and exhibits. Numerous student groups also help the creative arts flourish on campus.
