How to Apply for Aid

The financial need of U.S. citizens and permanent residents is determined on the basis of data provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial aid awards are made for one year at a time and are recalculated each year based on a Need Access report and prevailing Yale Law School financial aid policies.

Please have a Need Access analysis and FAFSA data sent to Yale Law School by March 15, 2008; late submissions will cause financial aid offers to be delayed and may not be eligible for some types of aid.

International students are eligible to apply for need-based financial aid by completing the Yale Law School Financial Aid Application. This form is available from the Financial Aid office and online and must be submitted to the office by March 15, 2009.

For more information on financial aid policies, please consult the Financial Aid Handbook.
