As an Indian student, how did you afford to go to Stanford?

Nitika Gupta Posted On : February 16th, 2024

As an Indian student, navigating the path to Stanford wasn't just about academics, it was about financial hurdles too. Let me tell you how I managed it. 
Stanford's generous need-based financial aid program was my saving grace. My family's income fell within the eligibility criteria, and I received a significant scholarship that covered most of the tuition. This was a huge weight off my shoulders, allowing me to focus on my studies. It requires careful planning and exploring various avenues. Here are some possible paths you can explore while planning to study at Stanford University:

Scholarships:

  • Stanford University Financial Aid: Stanford offers generous financial aid packages, and nearly 50% of students receive some form of assistance. Their need-based aid program considers your family's financial situation and aims to meet 100% of demonstrated need.
  • Merit-based scholarships: Stanford also offers merit scholarships based on academic excellence and achievements in specific fields.
  • External scholarships: Explore scholarships offered by Indian government organizations, private trusts, NGOs, and alumni associations. Research options like the Fulbright-Nehru Master's and Doctoral Fellowship or the Inlaks Scholarship.

Loans:

  • Federal student loans: International students are eligible for limited federal loans.
  • Private loans: These come with higher interest rates, so proceed with caution.

Other options:

  • Work-study: On-campus jobs through the Federal Work-Study program can help offset some costs.
  • Summer internships: Secure well-paying internships to build experience and earn money.
