Scholarships and other grants are often referred to as gift aid, because they do not need to be repaid. Such gift aid falls into one of three categories in the Yale financial aid award:<\/p>\n

- Yale Scholarship<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
- merit-based scholarships<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
- entitlement grants<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Yale\u00a0Scholarship<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\n\nYale\u2019s need-based grant aid for undergraduates, the Yale Scholarship, is a gift and thus never has to be repaid. If a student is awarded financial aid, the Yale Scholarship amount is included on the Financial Aid Award Letter.<\/p>\n
The Yale Scholarship can vary from a few hundred dollars to over $70,000 per year; the average Yale need-based scholarship is over $50,000. For additional statistics, see\u00a0Affordability<\/a>.<\/strong> Area Yale Club awards, endowed scholarships, and other gift aid from Yale\u2019s alumni and friends may be used as grants in place of some Yale Scholarship funds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Merit-based\u00a0scholarships<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\n\nWhile Yale does not award merit-based scholarships, Yale students often qualify for merit awards from other organizations. Criteria for receiving merit scholarships are directly linked to a student\u2019s performance in academics, sports, music, or another field of special interest. Potential sources for merit-based awards include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- private companies<\/li>\n
- employers<\/li>\n
- nonprofit organizations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can find resources to help you search for merit-based scholarships under\u00a0Sources for Outside Aid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\n\nWe encourage you to pursue outside aid awards, which can significantly reduce or eliminate your\u00a0Student Share<\/a>\u00a0amount (see below). All outside aid that is paid directly to Yale is included on the term bill as anticipated credits, thus reducing the amount due.<\/p>\n
How merit scholarships affect the financial aid award<\/h3>\n
For students on financial aid, outside merit scholarships may reduce their\u00a0Student Share<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Amounts that exceed the total Student Share\u00a0reduce\u00a0Yale Scholarship<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
