Does Stanford offer assistantship or work-study positions?
Actually we do have assistantships, although we encourage our students not to work. We think that the nature of the MBA curriculum is very rigorous, and we want them to be completely immersed in the MBA experience and all that encompasses. Working sometimes detracts from that. About 3% of our students do get research assistantship funding, and it’s usually in their second year. Depending on the type of research assistantship, compensation comes either in the form of income or a little bit of tuition credit. Most of the research assistantships go to our doctoral students.
