Tuition Fees, Undergraduate, Stanford University, 2010-11. (June 8, 2010)
Stanford University's regular undergraduate tuition for the academic year, payable Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters, is US$12,900, i.e. US$38,700 p/a (A$47,300 p/a).
In a recent publication Stanford University President, John Hennessy, explained the university's approach to student admissions:
When we expanded our financial aid program in February 2008 to ensure that a Stanford education remains affordable for lower- and middle-income families, the global economic climate was very different. The past 18 months have been particularly challenging for many families, and many of our students receiving financial aid requested a re-evaluation of their need based on changed financial circumstances. And just as families have been compelled to scrutinize expenses, Stanford has re-examined its goals and budget in light of the extraordinary events of the past year and a half.
We have made some hard decisions, but one goal remains unchanged: our foundational commitment to need-blind admission.
Today, about 80 percent of our students receive aid from some source, and almost half receive need-based scholarships directly from Stanford.
Stanford is not unique; Wikipedia currently lists the following fifty private US institutions of higher learning as offering U.S. students both need-blind and full-need admissions.
