Financial Aid for International Students
- Yale is strongly committed to equality of opportunity. Its need-blind admissions policy extends to international students and ensures that the College will be accessible to all candidates from any part of the world who show great academic and personal promise. An application for financial aid will have no bearing on the Admissions Committee’s decisions, and Yale will meet the full demonstrated need of any candidate admitted. Awards combine gift assistance, long-term loans, and term-time employment. The student’s family will be expected to contribute funds to the extent that it can, and the student must make sure that these funds can be withdrawn from his or her country. International financial aid forms are available on the Financial Aid Web site.
Yale Cuts Costs for Families and Students
- New Haven, Conn. — Yale University President Richard C. Levin announced today that Yale is reducing the average cost of sending a student to Yale College by over 50% for families with financial need. This new policy will apply to all students returning to campus in the fall as well as entering freshmen. This represents the largest increase in spending for financial aid in the University’s history.
- The reduction in costs will be spread across a broad range of incomes. Families with incomes below $120,000 will see their contributions cut by more than 50%, while most families with incomes between $120,000 and $200,000 will see cost reductions of 33% or more.
- Families earning less than $60,000 annually will not make any contribution toward the cost of a child’s education, and families earning $60,000 to $120,000 will typically contribute from 1% to 10% of total family income. The contribution of aided families earning above $120,000 will average 10% of income.
- Yale also is increasing the number of families who qualify for aid, eliminating the need for students to take loans, enhancing its grants to families with more than one child attending college, exempting the first $200,000 of family assets from the assessment of need, and increasing expense allowances for foreign students during school vacation periods. Yale calculates financial aid by taking into consideration a family’s total income and assets, family size and number of children in college, family medical bills, state of residence, and a number of other factors.
- The combined changes will increase Yale’s financial aid budget by more than $24 million, to over $80 million annually. Yale also announced that it would hold its increase in tuition, room, and board charges in 2008-2009 to the expected level of consumer price inflation, 2.2%.
- “Yale should be a college of choice for the very best and brightest students from across America and around the world, regardless of financial circumstances. We want all of our students to make the most of Yale – academically and beyond – without worrying about excessive work hours or debt. Our new financial aid package makes this aspiration a reality,” said Levin.

I am a 17 year old female student from Jamaica. I graduated from the Black River High School in June 2010. I have attained seven (7) CSEC subjects at the institution. I am currently attending the same institution to further my studies through the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (C.A.P.E). I will be siting the exams in June 2011.

I would like to be considered as a successful applicant for a scholarship at the Yale University for fall 2011. I would like to do M.B.A. Despite the fact that my area is competitive i believe that i am able to defy the odds.Why? I embrace myself as a creative and not a competitive mind. I embrace myself as a winner,winners never quit simple because quitters never win. I am an optimist and i believe if i do my part,space must be created for me in the business world. If i am granted this opportunity to study at this university i would maximize my full potential by maintaining a high average, affect positive change and leadership at the university in both the academic and curricular life of the university. What i have to offer to this university is my unique leadership skills, passions and experiences to make a positive contribution to campus because i am a beacon of positivity, i am the maker of my destiny. This opportunity would also be for the betterment of my life after university.It would allow me to fulfill my dreams, also to make myself a happy,independent,successful,qualified young woman. I believe true success is not measured only by what you have accomplish but also by what you have overcame to get there. Finally I BELIEVE THAT I AM TRULY NUMBER ONE(1).

Samuel this is amazing! This kind of information and advice is all i needed. Hoping above all hopes that here, at yale, is where my dream come true. Though you haven’t given us more information on the chances that a diploma holder has over the rest. I have a diploma in civil engineering.
I am a 17 year old finishing high school in 2012 & intending to enter varsity in 2013. From childhood I began to realise that I was different- my whole family had ventured into sciences and I was destined to do likewise. On passing my O level studies with flying colours, I instead chose to venture into Arts. I became so absorbed and joined the debate & public speaking club which strengthened and made me realise my true dream of becoming a great orator through being a lawyer… Ever since this discovery my life has changed greatly and I have been determined to fulfill my destiny of being a top lawyer trained from the world’s top ranked law school- Yale. I live in Zimbabwe and cannot afford the finances so please help
It is perfect time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I want to suggest you few interesting things or tips. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read more things about it!
