We offer the Stanford Contributory Retirement Plan (SCRP), a program designed to help you save for your retirement through your own investment and through a generous matching contribution from the university.

Plan Features

• Access any time - Control your investments online via the Stanford Retirement Manager or by telephone at (888)793-8733
• Convenience - The amount you want to invest is deducted automatically from your paychecks
• Tax savings now – Since contributions are deducted before taxes, you lower the amount of income tax you pay each pay period
• Tax-deferred savings – In most cases, you pay no taxes on investments and earnings (if any) until you withdraw them
• Investment variety – Choose from investments that range from conservative to aggressive
• Portability – The TDA (but not the CRA) accepts rollovers of eligible savings from previous employer(s). When you leave Stanford, you can take your entire SCRP account balance with you
• Catch-up contributions – If you are age 50 or older and make the maximum contribution to your account, you can make an additional “catch-up” contribution each year
• Automatic annual increases - Enroll to automatically increase your contribution amount election each year
