Financial Aid
If you are currently enrolled in Yale College and plan to register for at least one course credit through Yale Summer Session, you may apply for a Federal Perkins Loan. If you are currently enrolled in Yale College and plan to register for at least two course credits through Yale Summer Session, you may apply for federal and private loans through Student Financial Services (SFS).
Yale College students requiring financial assistance should ascertain whether they are eligible for a Yale Summer Session scholarship. Students should allow at least two weeks for a scholarship application to be processed. Ph.D. candidates in the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences may apply for a Summer Foreign Language Institute Fellowship through Yale Summer Session. Master's degree candidates and professional school students should contact their own financial aid officers for information on the eligibility criteria for loans for summer courses and their availability.
Students who are not currently enrolled at Yale should contact the financial aid office at their home institutions to discuss their alternatives. Federal regulations prohibit SFS from processing any federal financial aid for students who are not enrolled in a degree program at Yale. However, SFS will consider certifying nonfederal supplemental loans.
