Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) has opened its application for next year’s program, offering twelve academic sessions ranging from the humanities to the biological sciences. During the two-week program, participants will experience life as a university student by attending lectures and seminars, meeting peers from around the world, and accessing opportunities across Yale – ranging from admissions panels to conversations with Yale professors.
Yale Young Global Scholars provides scholarships to students with demonstrated financial need. The application for partial and full scholarships are included in the online program application and must be completed by the 2024 application deadline. It is recommended that parents or guardians of applicants help students complete the required financial information.
The high school enrichment program will offer residential and online sessions during June and July 2024.
We will award scholarship money based on need demonstrated in your completed application. Last year, approximately one third of program participants received full or partial scholarships based on financial need. Unfortunately, Yale Young Global Scholars financial assistance cannot cover travel expenses, and we cannot guarantee financial aid to all those who apply for it.
