johankid15 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hey guys, I also got accepted to Stanford's MS in EE program. Have not heard back from them regarding financial assistance and I am an international student. Does this mean I am expected to pay out of pocket? If you guys do have any information from a website, a link would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys do have any information from a website, a link would be appreciated. Thanks! Their MS program is unfunded. Be prepared to take out some hefty loans to cover the costs. I think full-time tution alone is around ~$40,000/year and on top of that life in Palo Alto is very expensive. I honestly don't think their MS program is worth the debt. I could never forgive myself for pulling out a $80,000 loan. Edited March 15, 2012 by mobilemayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starglow Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Johankid, check out this link: http://studentaffairs.stanford.edu/gradadmissions/admitted/financing-expenses Since most MS students take 8-10 units per quarter, your tuition fees for three quarters (Autumn, Winter, Spring, and assuming you are not going to be taking summer courses) would come to $28,560. Your total living allowance for three quarters would be $26,082, according to the same website. So your total for the first year, assuming you are not getting any financial assistance or funding, would be around $54,642. If you do need financial assistance from the department though (as far as I know), you'd need to complete one quarter before becoming eligible for it (a TAship/RAship). Hope this helps!

awvvu Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) How often do MS students get TA/RA after the first quarter? edit: I found some TA salary info here: http://www-ee.stanfo...formation_Sheet So tuition costs up to 10 units are completely covered if doing a 50% TA (20 hours a week!). However, I don't know how likely it is to obtain a TA position when competing against so many other MS students. edit2: Full graduate assistantship information here: http://adminguide.stanford.edu/24_2.pdf Edited March 16, 2012 by awvvu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
