Stanford Maintains Legacy & Donor Admissions 🎓

Stanford will keep considering legacy & donor status in admissions.

To do so, it’s opting out of California’s state aid (like the Cal Grant) and covering aid with its own funds instead.

📌 In 2023, 13.6% of admitted students had legacy or donor ties.
📌 New law takes effect Sept 1, 2025.
