What is The Stanford Fund?
The Stanford Fund for Undergraduate Education is the university's highest priority for annual giving. Used exclusively to support today's students, the fund is the most effective way for Stanford alumni, students, parents, and friends to contribute financial support for undergraduate education and student life.
What do gifts to The Stanford Fund support?
The Stanford Fund largely supports the university in three areas:
- Scholarships: The largest portion of gifts to The Stanford Fund is used to fund scholarships. More than 1,000 undergraduates receive need-based Stanford Fund scholarships each year.
- Academic Experience: The Stanford Fund makes direct investments in the Schools of Humanities and Sciences, Engineering, and Earth Sciences and provides seed funding for new initiatives developed by the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.
- Student life: In any given year, as many as 100 student groups, from club sports to performing arts groups to public service organizations, are supported by The Stanford Fund.

What calendar does The Stanford Fund use to recognize gifts?
The Stanford Fund recognizes gifts according to the university's fiscal year, which runs from September 1 to August 31. For example, gifts received between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2011, will be counted as fiscal 2011 gifts.
Class reunion campaigns run according to the calendar year in which the reunion is held. For example, gifts made by alumni to their reunion campaigns between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2011, will also be considered reunion gifts.
