The Application Process for Financial Aid

Application for financial aid is a separate process from application for admission to the school. Applying for financial aid does not affect admission decisions.

U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents

U.S. citizens or permanent residents who wish to apply for financial aid must complete and submit the following: (1) the CSS Profile (School Code 3975); (2) the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); (3) and the School of Architecture Verification Form.

The Yale School of Architecture Application for Financial Aid Verification Form is available online at http://architecture.yale.edu/admissions/financial-aid. These forms must be received by the school no later than February 1, 2025 for prospective and new students, and no later than April 30, 2025 for students already enrolled. The forms may be sent via email to archfinancialaid@yale.edu.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available online at https://fafsa.ed.gov. For best results, the FAFSA application should be completed by February 1, 2025. The Yale School of Architecture’s FAFSA code number is 001426.

Because scholarship money and some loan funds are limited, applicants who miss the February 1 application deadline may jeopardize their eligibility for financial aid. Applicants who are accepted for admission and who have correctly completed their financial aid application by the February 1 deadline will receive a financial aid determination shortly after the online notification of admission.

Non-U.S. Citizens and Non-Permanent Residents

Prospective students who are non-U.S. citizens and non-permanent residents and wish to apply for financial aid must complete and submit the following: (1) the CSS Profile (School Code 3975) and (2) the School of Architecture Verification Form. These forms can be obtained online at http://architecture.yale.edu/admissions/international-students.

The forms must be received by the school no later than February 1, 2025 for prospective and new students, and no later than April 30, 2025 for students already enrolled. The forms may be submitted via the school's online forms or by email to archfinancialaid@yale.edu.

Because scholarship money and some loan funds are limited, applicants who miss the February 1 application deadline may jeopardize their eligibility for financial aid. Applicants who are accepted for admission and who have correctly completed their financial aid application in a timely manner will receive a financial aid determination shortly after the online notification of admission.
