I completely understand the concern about cost at Stanford. However, as a current student in the STEP program, I can tell you that very few of us are going to have to pay back the full extent of our loans. Because of a generous grant from a benefactor, many of us received a $20,000 loan that is forgiven as long as we teach for five years. In addition to that, the APPLE program will forgive up to $13,000 additional for teaching for four years in a California Title I public school. Stanford has an excellent program, and is working to draw the best and brightest into the field by looking for innovative ways to offset the cost of education.
