<p>Okay, so maybe I'm blind but I can't seem to find the deadline for scholarships on their website and haven't received a reply when I emailed them. Does anyone know when the deadline is? Is it before the deadline for the application?</p>
<p>Stanford has no scholarships, which is why you can’t find the deadline.</p>
<p>Stanford offers only need-based aid. There’s no merit-based. If you want need-based aid, then there are priority deadlines to file the CSS Profile and the FAFSA. The former was 11/15 for REA and 2/15 for RD; the latter is 3/1 for REA and 2/15 for RD (which is REALLY weird, so if anybody has any clue about this, can you say so?) The deadlines are here: <a href=“Financial Aid : Stanford University”>Financial Aid : Stanford University;
<p>…and of course the whole thing is more complicated for international students, but since I’m not one, I don’t know much/anything about it.</p>
<p>Thanks! But then does that mean that I can’t use other scholarships to pay for Stanford, such as those contest scholarships? Also, it looks like both the FAFSA and CSS are required, right?</p>
<p>You can.And there is no deadline to report those. :)</p>
<p>You can use outside scholarships to pay for Stanford, but don’t expect any from them. (Actually, since they’re not in the Ivy League, they may have sports scholarships, but I wouldn’t know about that.) And yeah, both the FAFSA and the CSS Profile are required.</p>
