Financial Aid
Tuition, room and board at Stanford costs slightly over $50,000 annually. Stanford is need-blind in its admission process, meaning that applying for financial aid does not affect the admission decision. This policy applies to students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States. International students should refer to the following section.
Stanford is committed to providing a financial aid package that will meet the full demonstrated financial need of every admitted U.S. student or permanent resident of the United States. In the spring of 2008, the school announced significant enhancements to its financial aid policies. Parents whose total annual income is less than $60,000 a year will not be expected to contribute toward educational costs. Parents with income between $60,000 and $100,000 will receive enough scholarship to cover the cost of tuition at a minimum.
Stanford also allows students to earn the work-study portion of a financial aid package through community service. This alleviates incoming students

Residential Life at Stanford
More than ninety-nine percent of Stanford students live in student housing or at a Stanford-sponsored off-campus study program each quarter. That translates into a community of 6,600 people under the age of twenty-six all living within a relatively small radius. Because of this, the campus is vibrant and full of every imaginable student-led organization, from Greek life to political groups, to recreational clubs, to ethnic-cultural organizations and many more.

Traditions
Stanford traditions are priceless in their sheer wackiness. Incoming freshmen are accepted into the Stanford fold in the freshman right of passage, Full Moon on the Quad. During the first full moon of the quarter, departing seniors welcome incoming freshmen to Stanford with a kiss. The sight of more than 3,000 people kissing under a full moon is unforgettable. Serenaded by the crazy Leland Stanford Junior University Band, Full Moon on the Quad is one raucous night.
Stanford traditions are rooted in irreverence.
