Summer Session Grants

Eligibility

Students must plan to complete courses during the summer quarter and use them toward graduation requirements for an engineering degree. The grants are intended for engineering students with financial need who come from under-resourced schools or environments with limited exposure to and preparation for an engineering curriculum. They are designed to help students complete a single undergraduate engineering major and will not be disbursed for plans to complete coterms, minors, second majors, or pre-med requirements.

We consider students at two points in their undergraduate career: 

1. Students in their junior year whose pathway to graduation requires an additional course over the summer before their senior year. These students must have declared an engineering major and can propose any course required for graduation.
2. Students in their first year who began in Math 18 this Autumn. Students need to have passed Math 18 and earned a B or better in Math 19 and 20. These students must be planning an engineering major. The grant would specifically allow them to take Math 21, or its equivalent at another institution, so that they can take Math 51 in the Autumn of their sophomore year.

Application Details 

There are two paths for SSG funding; Stanford classes and off-campus courses. Please see the following flowcharts for application, reimbursement, and deadline information.

Your application will not be considered complete until you have uploaded the following in PDF format: 

• For frosh only: your transcript with your application.
• For juniors only: your final year plan, a transcript, program sheets for your major, and a description of the equivalent course at Stanford (including college, course number, and description).

NOTE: An incomplete application WILL DELAY a timely response to your request.
