STANFORD UNIVERSITY ESCONDIDO FAMILY FUND
The Escondido Family Fund was established in 1988 by a gift from anonymous donors to provide rent subsidies to student families with two or more children living in Escondido Village. Since funds are limited, families with the greatest need will be funded first and preference is given to Ph.D. students who will be in the final years of their academic program.
ELIGIBILITY: As stipulated by the donors, families must have two or more children and live in Escondido Village for the entire award period. (Note: Families who expect their second child during the award period are eligible to apply for the months they will have two children.) In addition, the dependent children must live with their parent or parents in Escondido Village at least 50% of the time. The recipient of this award must be a matriculated student. (Summer registration is not necessary if the recipient will be a continuing student the following year.) It is expected that international students will not be eligible for funding in their first year of study, since their financial resources have been verified for visa purposes.
AWARD CYCLE: Funding is available for one to four quarters. A new application is required for each academic year, which runs from Autumn quarter to the end of Summer quarter. Students should apply in the spring preceding the award year. All awards must be applied directly to the recipient's EV rent. As is the case with all grants, this award is subject to state and federal income taxes.
