Although the sticker price of Stanford is 71,665, it is unlikely students pay that amount. Undergraduates with home incomes of less than $125,000 have tuition covered by scholarships and grant aid, and if under $65,000, parents of Stanford students are expected to pay nothing. Overall, about 70% of undergraduate students receive assistance. On top of this, 18% will receive aid from the federal government.
