Scholarship Description
The Yale Young Global Scholars empowers the next generation of leaders by building a global community and designing interdisciplinary programs that foster intellectual curiosity, deepen understanding and inspire creative action across all borders.
The YYGS program provides full or partial scholarships to students aged 15-17 years with demonstrated financial need. We will award scholarship money based on need demonstrated in your completed application. Unfortunately, YYGS financial assistance cannot guarantee financial aid to all those who apply for it.
Each YYGS session is two weeks long and brings together an array of Yale’s best faculty and outside speakers to provide an intense, hands-on experience that combines lectures, seminars, and small-group discussions designed to challenge and inspire. Students do not receive course credit, but they do receive intensive training in critical thinking, verbal expression, and writing.
Eligibility
In order to apply to YYGS, applicants MUST fulfill all of the following requirements:
- Age: Be at least 16 years old by July 19, 2020 (first day of Session III).*
- English Fluency: Be able to participate in a rigorous academic curriculum conducted in English.
- Grade Level: Be a current high school sophomore or junior (or international equivalent).
- Graduation Date: Be graduating in May/June 2021 or 2022 from the Northern Hemisphere, or in Nov./Dec. 2020 or 2021 from the Southern Hemisphere.
- YYGS Participation: Be a first-time participant in YYGS. If you have participated in any YYGS session during a previous summer (e.g., 2019, 2018), then you are not eligible to participate during YYGS 2020.
Please note: If you previously applied to YYGS but were not offered admission or were unable attend AND you meet the eligibility criteria noted above, then you are encouraged to re-apply for YYGS 2020.
