Students and The Stanford Fund
If you’re a Stanford undergrad, chances are that The Stanford Fund has contributed to your experience—whether through financial aid, student life, or academics.
The Stanford Fund plays a major role in the Stanford experience, from providing need-based financial aid to supporting memorable on-campus events.
Additionally, The Stanford Fund supports student-led initiatives to advance equity, justice, and inclusion on campus through the Solidarity Fund, a fund aimed at combating anti-Black racism in our community.
You can help ensure that experiences and programs like these are here for the next generation of Stanford undergrads too.

Seniors for The Stanford Fund
Every year, the graduating class comes together to lead a fundraising campaign to both commemorate their time at Stanford and support areas of need, like financial aid, undergraduate academics, mental health resources, and more. Making a gift isn't the only way to give back, but it's a powerful way to support the departments, programs, and people you care about.
Support what matters to you
Education through scholarships, not loans
Contribute to a more equitable future in Stanford education by supporting need-based financial aid, which benefits early half of all undergrads each year.
A place for everyone
Promote justice, belonging, and equity on campus with a gift toward the Centers for Equity, Community, and Leadership.
Memories and Traditions
Sustain the campus-wide events and programming that make the Stanford experience fulfilling, unique, and fun.
Innovative curriculum
Enable all three undergraduate schools to expand class offerings and provide additional academic support for students.
A helping hand
Help provide flexible grants for undergraduate students to cover unexpected expenses like emergency travel or registration fees for a conference.
Compassion and care
Increase appointment capacity at Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), expand virtual and telephone visits, and improve community outreach.
Connection and belonging
Support the student-led organizations that help undergraduates develop new skills, build connections, and pursue their passions.
All of the above!
Support all of these important initiatives with one gift through The Stanford Fund.
You make a difference
Supporting The Stanford Fund offers me a chance to shape the Stanford that I want to see for future generations of Stanford students—one with support for a diversity of students, quality academic experiences, vibrant student-run organizations, and a rich social scene.
