Optional Fields
Financial aid at Yale College is based on the total cost of attendance, which includes tuition, room and board, books and personal expenses. Families whose total gross income is less than $75,000 (with typical assets) are not expected to make a contribution towards their child’s Yale education. Over 10% of Yale undergraduate families have an Expected Family Contribution of $0.
Yale is also a partner with QuestBridge, a national non-profit program that links high-achieving low-income students with scholarships at some of the nation's best colleges.
Yale joined the Say Yes to Education College Compact to pay tuition and fees for any admitted student from the program whose family makes less than $75,000/year. In addition, the average annual grant from Yale to students receiving financial aid is more than $64,000, and the median net price for families receiving financial aid is less than $12,000

A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
Yale understands that nontraditional students often face issues very different from those faced by more traditional undergraduates. Yale is sensitive to this reality, and the Director of the Eli Whitney Scholars Program provides special academic counseling and course selection advising to Eli Whitney students. Yale offers many academic resources to undergraduates, including tutoring services; guidance on study abroad opportunities; advice on career development and graduate/professional school admissions. Also supporting Eli Whitney students is the Eli Whitney Students Society, a student-run organization whose mission is “to help all Eli Whitney students acclimate to the Yale College experience.”
In addition, Yale accepts credits from non-traditional students' previous coursework. For a non-Yale course to count toward graduation requirements, it must meet certain standards. The course must be taken at an accredited post-secondary institution. The course must be similar to Yale College courses in content. The student must achieve a grade of A or B in at least three-quarters of their non-Yale courses, and no lower than a grade of C in the remainder. Credit is not granted for online courses; Advanced Placement (AP) results; International Baccalaureate (IB) results; College Level Placement Exams (CLEP); or college credits earned while in high school
