Hey, I'm planning my college applications and I'm interested in Yale. How much is pre-financial aid tuition for their undergrad programs? Also, are there any cost-saving tips or financial aid opportunities available for low-income families? Thanks!
The cost of tuition for Yale University's undergraduate program for the 2024-2025 academic year is $67,250. This does not include room and board, fees, books, and other miscellaneous expenses that can bring the total cost of attendance to around $90,000+ per year. However, Yale is dedicated to meeting 100% of the demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, making it more accessible for students from various financial backgrounds.
Yale offers need-based financial aid, and most of the financial aid offered is in the form of grants that do not need to be paid back. It's important to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile to be considered for financial aid. The deadline for submitting these forms depends on your application plan (Early Action or Regular Decision).
In addition to the need-based aid offered by Yale, you can also apply for external scholarships. Many organizations offer scholarships based on factors like academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, or community service, so explore different options and see which ones you qualify for.
Remember, the more you explore financial aid opportunities, the more likely you are to find additional sources of funding that can help you reduce the cost of attending a prestigious institution like Yale.
