StataCorp LLC has updated the name of Stata GradPlan program. As of today
Stata GradPlan becomes Stata Prof+ Plan.
Why this change?
The Stata GradPlan is one of the most important Stata pricing programs and is part of a discount strategy we use worldwide. It has led many users to choose Stata software over its competitors because it makes Stata inexpensive and easy to purchase.
Originally, GradPlan was created as a student pricing program at select universities. One of its best benefit was that faculty and staff at those universities received the discount, too. Over time, StataCorp LLC extended student pricing to include any student at any university, so now, the GradPlan applies only to faculty and staff at certain universities, which makes "Grad" a confusing part of the name so the change now to Stata Prof+ Plan.
“Stata Prof+ Plan is different from the GradPlan in name only.
All of the same great benefits apply”
Stata Prof+ Plan will allow us to continue to support the faculty and staff at select universities and research institutions worldwide. Any university that was a GradPlan school before now qualifies for Stata Prof+ Plan. See below link to check which universities are already on the list, depending on the country.
