The Financial Aid Package
Yale awards all financial aid on the basis of financial need. Students who qualify for financial aid receive a need-based Yale Scholarship that can vary from a few thousand dollars to over $90,000 per year.
Affordable. For Everyone.
Families whose total gross income is less than $100,000 (with typical assets) are not expected to make a contribution towards their child’s Yale education. Hundreds of Yale undergraduate families have an expected parental contribution of $0.
All Students Means All Students
Yale’s need-based financial aid awards meet the full demonstrated financial need of all students regardless of citizenship.
