Yale University Scholarships 2024
Brief Description
Yale University is ranked among the best universities in the world due to its academic brilliance. This university is ranked 15th in the world by Best Universities and 3rd in the United States by US News due to its stature and excellent academic standards.
Yale University offers a number of scholarships in the form of financial aid. Approximately 63% of undergraduate students, including international students, received financial aid. For postgraduate scholarships, students must apply to the departments of their choice as funding policies vary from department to department. Postgraduate funding is determined by individual departments, not the university.
For Ph.D. students, fully funded scholarships are very common. Each student receives at least a scholarship covering full tuition fees, a hospitalization fellowship, and an annual stipend.

What is FAFSA?
The U.S. government determines the amount of federal student aid—grants, loans, and work-study—you qualify for using the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
Yale’s FAFSA code is 001426
Date available: January (possibly sooner)
We do not require the FAFSA for a provisional financial aid decision.
what it is:
A free online application used to determine U.S. citizens’ and permanent residents’ eligibility for federal and state grants and for the low-interest Federal Direct Loan program.
how to submit it:
Fill out the application on the FAFSA website using Yale’s FAFSA code: 001426.
The Federal Student Aid office provides helpful short videos on the following topics:
You can also visit the FAFSA Help page for FAQs and contact information.
Tax information entered in the FAFSA may also need to be verified with IRS Data Retrieval or an IRS Tax Return Transcript.
What is a CSS Profile?
Yale’s CSS College Code is 3987
Date available: October 1
what it is:
The CSS Profile collects information that some colleges and scholarship programs use to award institutional aid funds. Institutional aid represents a large portion of the financial aid package for most Yale College students, and the profile, along with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for U.S. citizens and permanent residents, is used to determine eligibility for Yale University scholarships. The CSS Profile provides more detailed information than the FAFSA and is required for all students applying for a Yale scholarship.
For more information about the Profile, see the College Board’s CSS Profile website.
how to submit it:
At Yale, we require international financial aid applicants to use the online College Board CSS profile if they are able to do so. This option provides Yale with more accurate and complete financial information, a consistent calculation of ability to pay, and faster access to financial information without the mailing, sorting, and photocopying delays required for our systems. For students who are unable to use a CSS profile online (due to lack of Internet access, lack of access to a credit card, or other financial hardship), please contact our office.
• Apply online on the College Board’s website using Yale’s CSS College Code: 3987.
• You should gather as much personal financial information as possible before beginning.
• If applicable, families should complete all required CSS supplements as well.
Please note:
Yale receives your profile data electronically from CSS, so do not send copies or printouts of your application to Yale.
What are Signed Parent Tax Returns?
what it is:
As part of the 2024–2025 financial aid application, Yale requires copies of 2022 tax returns or, if no tax return was filed, equivalent documentation of 2022 income.
- If your parents are divorced, separated, or were never married, you must submit copies of both your custodial and noncustodial parents’ 2022 tax returns or income documentation.
- Families with a business or farm must also include the 2022 business or farm tax return(s).
how to submit it:
- Use the College Board’s IDOC Service to submit signed copies of 2022 federal tax returns, including all schedules and W-2s. For more information about the IDOC service, see IDOC under Financial Aid Terminology or visit the College Board website.
- Students and parents who submitted an amended 2022 federal tax return must also submit a signed copy of the amended return.
- Parents and students who did not file a tax return must submit a Tax Nonfiling Statement instead. Please visit our Forms page for the appropriate non-filing statement.
- If the tax returns are in a language other than English, please also provide an English translation of the text. The translation does NOT have to be an official document, and numbers do NOT need to be converted to U.S. currency.
- Parents who do not file a tax return should submit documentation of their income, such as a letter from their employer.
Please note that parents and students will need to submit updated tax documents in future years.
