TPC Invoicing and Payments

This page details the process for TPC sponsor invoicing and payments.

If you are a student sponsored by a third party, please share this information with your sponsor.

Sponsor Invoicing

Invoices will only be sent to sponsors of students with approved TPC applications.
Please review the sponsor invoicing dates on the TPC process timeline.
- To ensure that invoices are as accurate as possible, third-party sponsoring organizations are typically invoiced after the Final Study List (add/drop) deadline for each term.
- Please note that Visiting Student Researcher (VSR) sponsoring organizations are pre-billed for all charges during their initial invoicing cycle.
The Stanford Student Financial Services team notifies sponsor organizations by email when the current invoice is ready for viewing.
Sponsors: if you have trouble viewing your invoice, need to request a correction to an invoice, or have not yet received an invoice as expected, please submit a help ticket.

Please review sponsor payment deadlines on the TPC process timeline.
- Sponsor payment is due within 30 days of invoicing.
- Payments may take up to 7 business days to post, so plan accordingly.
Non-payment will result in the reversal of the TPC conditional credit on the student account.
In order for payments to post correctly, Sponsors must include the following details on their payments:
- Your Sponsor ID number
- The current invoice number (starts with "TPC")
- The student name(s)
Note: students should not add their TPC sponsor as an authorized user on the Stanford student payment system as this could result in a duplicate credit on the student account.
