Not a full ride of course, but a scholarship of some kind? Definitely. Lots of scholarship money is out there and if you have the ability to get accepted at Stanford you undoubtedly qualify for many scholarships.

Frankly if you are a student from a US high school accepted at Stanford and you don’t have a scholarship it’s because you probably made zero effort to get one.

Exactly what do you think you have refuted here? All you did was link to a financial aid page for a private university that costs nearly $90k a year to attend.

Every university has some sort of financial aid page or program. Every university has students helping to pay for their tuition and costs with scholarships, cash, loans, you name it…the university doesn’t care how they get their scratch, just that they get it somehow.

My daughter had nearly a dozen different scholarships and her degree still cost me some money…and she also chose to take out a student loan too.
