- Employee Emergency Assistance Fund: Apply for help when you experience a short-term financial emergency or unanticipated expenses that cause you financial hardship.
- Medical Contribution Assistance Program (MCAP): If you qualify, Stanford will subsidize a portion of your contributions for your health care based on your family income level and the premiums of the lowest-cost plan. If you and your dependents enroll in a plan other than the lowest-cost plan, you pay the difference between what the university will pay for the lowest-cost plan and your plan.
