Financial aid from the second year on?

Yes, you can apply in subsequent years. But read each website carefully.

If you are applying to Stanford REA for the admissions “edge” and not applying for aid for the admissions “edge”…I’m not sure I would suggest this.

What good will an offer of admission do you if you don’t have sufficient financial aid to attend? Are your parents going to pay out a large sum in savings and loans to make this possible the first year (because if a perceived admissions edge)?

Why not just apply for,the aid now, if you will benefit from it.

Stanford is need blind for admissions, meaning that your ability to pay is not considered when you apply for admission.

I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t apply for aid when applying as an incoming freshman. Makes no sense to me. This is a very generous college…with a generous endowment…that pledges to meet full need for all accepted students.
