Yale University has invited applications for its ‘Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) Programme 2020’ from meritorious high school students across the world.
Every summer, students from over 125 countries participate in one of five interdisciplinary, two-week sessions at the Yale campus in the United States.
The YYGS 2020 is offering sessions on humanities, social sciences, STEM (Science Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and a new cross-disciplinary track that incorporates all the above.
- For early applications, interested students can apply by November 12, 2019. And the regular date for applications is January 15, 2020.

The university provides over $3.4 million in need-based financial aid equally to both domestic and international students, offered as discounts covering up to 100 per cent of tuition costs.
With no grades or course credit, YYGS encourages students to approach all aspects of the programme creatively, with the understanding that they set their own limits.
Living and learning alongside peers from around the world allows students to broaden their own world view by learning about countries and cultures they have never encountered before.
