Stanford University

Important difference from MIT/Yale/Princeton/Harvard on this page: Stanford is need-blind ONLY for U.S. citizens, permanent residents, undocumented students, and 'Eligible Noncitizens' — for everyone else, including international applicants applying from abroad, financial aid need IS a factor in the admission decision (need-aware). Once admitted, Stanford commits to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need regardless of citizenship.

Stanford does publish income thresholds similar to MIT/Harvard's — family income under $100,000 means zero parent contribution, and under $150,000 (with typical assets) means tuition is fully covered. But Stanford's own site explicitly warns these thresholds 'have been set based on typical cost of living in the United States' and 'may not apply' the same way to families living outside the U.S. — your actual assessed need as a family abroad could differ from what the headline numbers suggest.

Full cost of attendance runs well into six figures before aid — check financialaid.stanford.edu for the current year's exact published rate.
