How much does Yale cost with a scholarship?

The cost of Yale University with a scholarship depends entirely on the amount of the scholarship. Yale's tuition, fees, room, and board are very expensive – in the neighborhood of $80,000+ per year. Therefore, the "cost" after scholarship aid will vary drastically depending on:

* The type of scholarship: Merit-based scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement or talent, while need-based scholarships consider the family's financial situation. Need-based aid is often much larger.

* The amount of the scholarship: Scholarships can range from a few hundred dollars to a full tuition and living expenses.

* The student's financial situation: Yale is committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, but this is based on a thorough assessment of the family's financial resources.

To determine the cost of Yale *for a specific student*, you'd need to:

1. Apply to Yale: The application process includes a financial aid application (CSS Profile).

2. Receive a financial aid package: Yale will then determine the student's financial need and offer a financial aid package that might include grants (scholarships), loans, and work-study.

3. Calculate the net cost: Subtract the total financial aid awarded from the total cost of attendance to arrive at the net cost for that student.

In short, there's no single answer to how much Yale costs with a scholarship. The cost is highly individualized.
