TUITION CLIMBS SLOWLY The good
news: This is the smallest percentage tuition increase in three decades,
and slightly below the expected growth in family income. The bad news:
Stanford tuition still will increase next year, if only by 3.8 percent.
The total price of tuition, room and board next year will be $29,879. As
the Board of Trustees passed the tuition increase, it also increased its
commitment to financial aid. The trustees voted to limit the impact of
home equity when calculating financial aid eligibility and recalculate
how the university considers outside scholarships. Almost 70 percent of
Stanford students receive some form of financial assistance.
