Tuition and Financial Aid
Admission to the Stanford Graduate School of Business is "need- blind, and all financial aid is need-based.
That means that your personal resources for financing your education are not considered in admission
decisions. After you are admitted, the Financial Aid Office determines your financial need and creates an aid
package that may include loans, fellowships, or a combination, based on a variety of factors. International
students are also eligible for need-based fellowships and loans that do not require a US-cosigner. We are
committed to working with you to meet all of your demonstrated financial need.
