Stanford University sets tuition rates for all students. These estimates include Stanford's per-unit tuition of $1,282 per unit, the Application Fee, Program Fee, the Campus Health Services fee, and a Document Fee*. Where applicable, estimates also include residential and meal fees.

Commuter Student Estimate

Attending as a commuter and taking the minimum 3 units? Costs start at $4,952

Residential Student Estimate

Living on campus and taking the minimum 8 credit-bearing units (typically 2-3 courses)? Costs start at $16,095

*The $125 document fee is a one-time fee charged to all students who are not returners to Summer Session. This fee offsets the cost of maintaining student records, processing transcript requests, and other registration-related services. 

A very limited number of tuition grants may be available to undergraduate and graduate students only. Please note that all tuition grant funds for 2023 have been distributed. While you are welcome to apply, new grant statements will not be reviewed until funds are returned and become available.
