Students who have been admitted can apply for limited, need-based financial aid within two weeks of the admissions decision notification. A typical financial aid award is a 50% tuition remission, although discounts of up to 80% may be awarded, depending on the availability of funds and financial need of the student. Past participants have also had success in securing funding to attend YSPA through foundations and crowd-funding.
Financial aid applications are only considered for admitted students. If you have been offered YPSA admission, you can request a financial aid application by email at info.yspa@yale.edu. The application must be submitted within two weeks of your admissions offer.
