The first step in the process of attending Stanford is to apply.  If offered admission, the next step is to complete an acceptance process. This process includes the submission of the following three documents:

• Declaration of Finance: An online form completed as part of the Stanford acceptance process.
• Proof of Funding Document: A letter or statement from the financial institution or from the family’s financial institution, verifying that there are funds sufficient to cover the program’s full cost as stated on the Declaration of Finance. This document must be shown in U.S. dollars. 
• Current Passport Photocopy: A copy of the identification page(s) of the passport.

Once all acceptance items have been received and students have been assigned a Stanford ID number, Stanford University will generate their I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant F-1 Student Status).

• Pay the SEVIS fee to the U.S. Government and obtain a receipt.

The cost of studying at Stanford University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay $73964 annually, to study in Stanford University
