Hey guys, I've been dreaming about going to Yale for what seems like forever. However, I'm kinda worried about the financial part of it. The cost of attendance can truly be a deal-breaker. So, I'm trying to get some info about the annual tuition. I know it varies and all, but any rough estimate could definitely help!
For the 2024-2025 academic year, Yale University's published tuition, fees, and room & board cost is approximately $87,000. However, this is the sticker price and many students end up paying less due to financial aid awarded by the university.
Yale is one of the few schools that offer need-blind admissions and meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, including international students. This means Yale is committed to making sure every student admitted can afford to attend, regardless of their financial situation.
To provide a decent estimate, the average need-based scholarship at Yale is around $52,800. However, financial aid varies greatly depending on your family's financial circumstances. Families with an income below $65,000 per year with typical assets for this income range are expected to make no contribution to their child's education.
However, every case is unique, and I strongly recommend using Yale's Net Price Calculator for a personalized estimate. It's designed to give families a better idea of what their particular financial aid package may look like if they decide to attend Yale.
