315 Scholarship Plan for Sons and Daughters of the Faculty and Staff of Yale University
Yale University maintains a scholarship grant program for sons and daughters of eligible University staff. Under the Plan, the University makes grants of tuition and certain fees up to stated maximums to the institution of attendance. To qualify, both employee and child must satisfy certain criteria:
- The parent must be a full-time member of the staff and have completed six continuous years of full-time service or alternative service as defined in Section III.B of the Plan.
- The student applicant must be admitted to a bachelor's degree program in an accredited institution in a course of study intended to begin upon completion of secondary school and to be completed in eight semesters. He or she must be enrolled full time. The student is required to maintain an academic record meeting the school's standards for financial aid.
- Students will not be eligible for scholarships for any semester which begins after they reach their 25th birthday.
Scholarship grants are paid directly to the institution of attendance and are not payable to the student or employee. Applications must be made well in advance of each semester and awards will be made on a semester-by-semester basis. The application deadline for the fall semester is July 1; for the spring semester, November 1; and for the summer semester, April 1. Scholarships up to the limit approved by the Yale Corporation from time to time may be awarded for any semester.
The full text of the Plan and application forms may be obtained by calling or writing the Benefits Office.
