I've been looking at the Intensive Law and Trial program at Stanford for high school students, but I can't seem to find the cost for the program. Has anyone participated or have any info on how much it costs? Any help would be much appreciated!
In recent years, the tuition for this program has generally been around $5,000. This usually covers on-campus accommodations, meals, and course materials. Keep in mind that travel expenses to and from Stanford are typically not included in the tuition.
You could reach out to the program administrators or staff directly for the most accurate and updated information on tuition and any available financial aid options. They should be able to provide you with the specifics you need.
That being said, please be aware that these types of expensive programs may not provide a significant boost to your college applications, as they can be seen as "pay to participate" rather than genuinely selective, which means they generally don't impress admissions officers. If cost is a concern, you might want to consider more selective pre-college programs or participate in extracurricular activities that demonstrate your interest in law without the high price tag. You can find suggestions of such options on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/law-internships-for-high-school-students.
Best of luck with planning your summer!
