New Delhi: If you are a high school student and looking for academic uplift at Yale’s historic campus, here is a chance. The Yale University has recently started the application process for Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) 2020, an academic summer enrichment program for outstanding high school students from around the world.
The young scholars session is offering various sessions in different streams such as humanities, social sciences, STEM, and a new cross-disciplinary track that incorporates all the above. The program is divided into three sessions starting from June 21 to July 31.
Every year in summer, students from over 125 countries participate in one of five interdisciplinary, two-week sessions at Yale’s historic campus.
Yale also provides over $3.4 Million USD in need based financial aid equally to both domestic and international students, offered as discounts covering up to 100% of tuition costs. With no grades or course credit, YYGS encourages students to approach all aspects of the program creatively with the understanding that they set their own limits. Students receive an electronic certificate of completion at the end of the session.
The diverse and inclusive community at YYGS enhances learning by inviting students to analyze issues from multiple perspectives. Living and learning alongside peers from around the world allows students to broaden their own worldviews by learning about countries and cultures they have never encountered before.
For early applications, students can apply by November 12th 2019 and the regular date for applications is January 15th 2020. Students can apply by visiting the following link: https://globalscholars.yale.
