Opportunity Fund
The Stanford FLI Student Success Center Opportunity Fund is designed to financially assist undergraduate students who are experiencing an unexpected financial challenge or seeking funds for an opportunity related to their academic and/or professional development. The FLI Student Success Center completes a thorough, holistic review of each application.
Please review all updated policies for 2023-24 before applying, including eligibility requirements.
Incoming Freshmen/Transfers
Frosh and new transfers, the only summer reimbursement requests that will be considered when the fund opens are computer purchases (only valid if purchased after May 31st, 2023).
Graduating Seniors
The last day to apply to the Opportunity Fund for funding is April 15, 2024. Please keep this date in mind and get any and all requests for eligible expenses in by that date. We are not accepting any applications after this date, regardless of the request, unless there is an emergency. If you will be participating in graduation/commencement but are not conferring your degree at the end of spring and will be continuing your undergraduate studies in following quarters, the deadline for support for graduation related expenses is still April 15, 2024.

What We Don't Fund
Though the Stanford FLI Student Success Center Opportunity Fund is designed to financially assist undergraduate students, there are some limitations to what we can fund. Here you can find information about what this entails.
Due to the high volume of requests that we receive through the Opportunity Fund, it can take up to two weeks to receive a response. Please be sure to include all supporting materials with your application to prevent a delay in processing.
Fraternity or Sorority Life Dues
Students applying for support with Fraternity or Sorority Life dues need to complete the FSL Opportunity Fund - Dues are not covered through the traditional Opportunity Fund application process. Please reach out to Christopher Carter with questions and next steps to be considered!
