welcome to The Office of Financial Aid & Resources

To help attract the finest students to its Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and to support the scholars who will perpetuate the advancement of knowledge, Yale University devotes substantial resources to financial aid for its graduate students. The steady trend of financial aid at Yale has been toward full funding for all Ph.D. students, and few schools can rival the breadth of support that Yale provides. Of the approximately 414 Ph.D. students entering the Graduate School in the fall of 2007, all were offered a financial aid package consisting of four years of full tuition, at least four years of stipend support (minimum $20,000 in 2007-2008), and comprehensive health care coverage.

The tuition fellowship covers the cost of annual tuition for the four years that tuition is charged. In the 2006-2007 academic year, the University allocated more than $110 million for financial aid for graduate students. The majority of students enrolled in terminal master's programs and the Division of Special Registration are self-supported.
