Summer Housing

The Bass Center will be be open for housing in Summer 2024. 

DATES

Summer housing will consist of 10 weeks, beginning on Friday, June 21, and ending on Friday, August 30.

COST

Room and board for summer housing will cost $5,500. Due to the limited space available at SIW, we are unable to accommodate single rooms during the summer. There will only be double-occupancy rooms available.

HOUSING PRIORITY

Please keep in mind that we give housing priority to Stanford in Washington students first and then students who have fellowships or stipends through SIG and the Haas Center. If there is space available after these students are given housing, we will open up housing to other Stanford affiliates. 

SUMMER HOUSING APPLICATION

If you are interested in living at SIW for the summer, please complete this application by April 5, 2024. You will hear back from us regarding the summer housing application results on April 26, 2024.
