Calendar. A-Z Index.

With nearly 16% of the student body coming from abroad, Yale University offers a diverse and exciting global environment in which to study. Yale’s history of including international students is a long one: the first international students arrived from Latin America in the 1830s. Today Yale welcomes the largest international community in its history, with a current enrollment of over 1,800 international students from 110 countries.

Admissions

To be accepted to study at Yale, interested applicants must apply directly to the school, college, or program where the degree will be awarded: Yale College for undergraduate degrees; the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences for doctoral programs and some master's degrees; or one of the professional schools.

Particularly beneficial to applicants contemplating undergraduate study is the fact that Yale College offers financial aid to international students on the same generous basis afforded to U.S. citizens.

Candidates accepted to doctoral programs in the Graduate School are given full tuition waivers and a standard stipend of at least $25,000 (2008-09) a year for the first four years of study. A number of the professional schools have financial aid grants available for international students.
