Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) is excited to open its application for Summer 2025. YYGS continues to be the premier, official pre-college program of Yale University, run out of the Office of International Affairs at Yale with students staying in Yale’s historic residential colleges.
YYGS is one of the most globally diverse, accessible pre-college programs in the world, with students representing over 150 countries, including 50+ U.S. states and territories. Each year the program distributes $3 Million in need-based financial aid and scholarships to domestic and international students.
“Even though this was my first time in the States and really the first time I’ve been so far from my family, the YYGS community and staff truly made me feel like I was at home and in a way, became my second family. I am very grateful that I got this wonderful opportunity and experience of a lifetime.” -Quoc Anh, YYGS 2024
Throughout June, July and August 2025, the summer program will offer twelve academic sessions ranging from literature and philosophy to the biological sciences. During each two-week session, participants will experience life as a university student by attending Yale faculty lectures, residing in historic residential colleges, and forging friendships from across the globe.
Interested students can apply by the Early Action deadline to receive a discounted application fee. If the fee poses a financial burden, students can submit a fee waiver to reduce the application fee to $0 USD.
