To Apply for Financial Aid
Non-Degree Students who are requesting federal financial aid must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The easiest and most efficient way to complete the FAFSA is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If the student does not have internet access, he or she may complete a paper FAFSA, available through most high schools and colleges. After the FAFSA is submitted to the federal processor, a Student Aid Report (SAR) is mailed to the student approximately four to six weeks after the FAFSA is submitted.
The Non-Degree Students Financial Aid Application materials are available on-line at www.yale.edu/sfas/financial.html. For more information, please contact Student Financial Services 246 Church Street, P.O. Box 208288, New Haven, CT 06520-8288, 203-432-2700.
