Stanford University Out-of-State Tuition?

Hello everyone! I've been dreaming of attending Stanford, but I live across the country. Does anyone know if there's a difference in tuition costs for out-of-state students, and if so, is it significant?

Hello! Stanford University is a private institution which means that tuition and fees are the same for all undergraduate students, regardless of their residency status. Unlike public universities which can have different tuition rates for in-state and out-of-state students, private schools like Stanford have a single tuition cost for all students. You can expect to pay the same tuition whether you're from California or any other state.

That being said, it's important to remember that the overall cost of attendance includes additional expenses like room and board, books, and personal expenses, which may vary for each student. Stanford offers need-based financial aid, and they are known to be quite generous in their assistance. To get an estimate of your expected financial aid package, you can use the Net Price Calculator available on the Stanford website. This will give you a better idea of what you might end up paying to attend Stanford, taking your family's financial situation into account.
