Applying for Financial Aid - New International Students
All students must apply for financial aid every year to be considered for any financial aid assistance. The deadline to complete Yale FES financial aid forms is February 15, 2007.
Four full scholarships will be offered to international students from Southeast Asia, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. All admitted students are automatically considered for this aid. Awards are based on the strength of the applicant's admissions material and will cover all costs for the two-year program.

International students are encouraged to seek support from their government, employer, or various international agencies.
