Financial Aid

Meeting the cost of an undergraduate education is a significant investment. At Stanford, we are committed to providing a comprehensive need-based financial aid program that makes it financially possible for admitted students to attend. There are a variety of funding options for Stanford graduate students based on academic merit, financial need, course of study, or type of degree program. Most fellowships and grants are secured through academic departments, outside agencies or governments.

Office of Accessible Education (OAE)

The mission of the Office of Accessible Education (OAE) is to promote an accessible and inclusive environment for all students with disabilities. Through both academic and housing accommodations, we work to mitigate physical and attitudinal barriers that students might face. We are dedicated to supporting students with disabilities to give them the opportunity to perform at their highest academic potential. 

VA Education Benefits

Stanford is committed to supporting our student veterans and their families. Students that wish to utilize any of the various chapters of the GI Bill®, Veteran Readiness and Employment or are on active duty orders and having their cost of attendance funded by the Department of Defense are required to coordinate with the VA Certification Officer to ensure all required documentation has been submitted before a student's enrollment may be certified. Students can contact the VA Certification Officer for help on how to navigate and understand the process of applying for benefits to pay for their education

Project 9 Line

Project9line's mission is to support all Veterans including but not limited to those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, by providing venues for them to communicate their experiences and express themselves. They offer veteran networking, programs, workshops and opportunities for all Military and Veterans to tell their story through the Arts and Activities. 

VA Military Sexual Trauma Resources

VA uses the term “military sexual trauma” (MST) to refer to sexual assault or sexual harassment experienced during military service. MST includes any sexual activity that you are involved with against your will. Anyone can experience MST, regardless of gender. MST can negatively affect a person’s mental and physical health, even many years later. If you are having current difficulties related to MST, VA is here to support you in whatever way will help you best — from simply learning more about how MST affects people, to treatment that helps you cope with how MST is impacting your life currently, or if you prefer, treatment that involves discussing your experiences in more depth.

Warrior Canine Connection

Warrior Canine Connection utilizes a Mission Based Trauma Recovery model to help Warriors recovering from the stress of combat reconnect with their families, communities, and life.

By interacting with the dogs as they move from puppyhood to training to adult service dogs, Warrior Trainers benefit from a physiological and psychological animal-human connection. As a result of their efforts, Veterans with disabilities receive the finest in trained service dogs.
