Merit Scholarships

Parent and Student Loans*

Student loans are sums of money given to students to help them pay for college now. The federal government or private banks can loan the money. At Stanford, 4% of full time undergraduates receive loans.

Work Study

Work-study is when you work during the school year, typically an on-campus job. The money you make pays a part of the tuition. It’s a great opportunity, but it’s not free.
