Are there are any scholarships for Yale available?

Answer 1

Yes and no.

If you are a high school senior looking to apply to Yale, you'll discover that they have no undergraduate scholarships. Here's a quote from their website: "Yale awards no merit scholarships and no athletic scholarships - all financial aid is based solely on demonstrated need." However, you might be surprised to discover that many of the Ivies, including Yale have sweetened their financial aid offerings.

Families with an income of $60,000 or less and $100,000 or less in assets will pay no tuition. Because everyone's case is different, you will have to contact Yale. However, even families with an income of $180,000 and assets of less than $200,000 will pay only $11,650 in tuition. There are also many outside scholarships that you can earn based on scholarship, community service and athletics and many of them can be used to pay you tuition at Yale. Sign up for the ScholarshipMentor newsletter (http://scholarshipmentor.com/Newsletter.htm) and get monthly lists of scholarships and tips on how to win them. Finally, yes. Yale does give scholarships to graduate students. The school of management has 34 scholarships. In addition, Yale give scholarship money to current students. For instance, there is the Barry Goldwater Scholarship for Sophomores and Juniors (at Yale) who intend to pursue careers in mathematics, engineering or the natural sciences. There are other scholarships that Yale gives, but you have to have your foot in the door to get them.
