The scholarship program aims to support undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students, offering outstanding individuals the chance to study at Yale without financial constraints.
The Yale Scholarship is a need-based financial aid program that covers 100% of each student’s demonstrated financial need. The amount of funding depends on family income, assets, and other financial circumstances.
For families earning less than $65,000 annually, the scholarship typically includes:
- Full tuition coverage
- Free on-campus accommodation
- Meal plans and dining support
On average, Yale’s need-based scholarships amount to around $50,000 per year, but can range from a few hundred to over $70,000 annually, depending on the applicant’s situation.
In addition to tuition and living costs, Yale’s fully funded scholarship also provides:
- Comprehensive health insurance
- Access to Yale’s libraries, laboratories, and research centers
- Opportunities to participate in global academic and internship programs
