FAQs

• Can I defer my enrollment?

  

  Admitted students are expected to enroll in their Home Program in September of the year they are admitted. Deferral requests will be reviewed by your admitting program’s admissions committee and are approved on a case-by-case basis. The maximum length of an admissions deferral granted by Stanford is one year. Typically, deferral requests are only approved for military, medical, visa, or education-related purposes.

• What makes Stanford bioengineering unique?

  

  The Stanford Bioengineering department is unique because it resides jointly in the Schools of Engineering and Medicine, with access to the best of both schools. Bioengineering students learn and work at the cutting edge of the intersection of engineering, biology, and medicine.

• If my school does not use a 4.0 GPA grading scale, how should I report this on my application?

  

  You are asked to enter both GPA and GPA scale for each institution you list on the application. Enter your GPA as it appears on your transcript. Do not convert your GPA to a 4.0 scale if it’s reported on a different scale.

• Do you offer fellowships to international applicants?

  

  We have a limited number of fellowships (which include a yearly stipend, tuition, and health and dental insurance) available to the most highly competitive international applicants. The stipend for the 2023-24 Academic Year is $51,600 ($12,900 per quarter). Admittance to the Biosciences Programs for international applicants varies from year to year depending on funding and available space. We strongly encourage applicants to apply for scholarships/fellowships in their home country that can be used overseas. Some useful websites that include information on external fellowships are: Fulbright Foreign Student Program The Fogarty International Center at the NIH International Center at the Institute of International Education (IIE) Applying for scholarships/fellowships generally takes some time to arrange, so plan ahead. You will be able to list any scholarships/fellowships that you have applied for and been awarded in the “Additional Information” section of the online application under “External Funding for Graduate Study”.
