Fellowships are available to all U.S. and international MBA financial aid applicants who can demonstrate financial need. The Stanford GSB Financial Aid office does not offer merit-based fellowships.
For fellowship purposes, we define “need” as our school budget minus assets, income, contributions from parents, friends and/or employers, and outside fellowships/scholarships.
The Financial Aid office will perform a point-in-time analysis of all assets, both liquid and non-liquid, when determining your fellowship eligibility. We do not consider loans (except forgivable loans) when determining fellowship need. A minimum loan will be packaged prior to determining Stanford GSB fellowship eligibility.
It’s important to understand that we do not negotiate fellowship amounts or eligibility.
