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

US Citizens and Permanent Residents

Prospective students who are US citizens or permanent residents who wish to apply for financial aid must complete and submit the following: (1) the CSS Profile (school dode 3975); and (2) the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA school code: 001426). These applications must be received by the school no later than January 2, 2027. 

Current students who are US citizens or permanent residents and are reapplying 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 school code: 001426); (3) the student’s 2024 federal tax return and current bank statement; and (4) the parent 2024 federal tax return(s) and current bank statement. If tax returns were not filed by the parent and/or student, please submit the Non-Tax Filer Form. These applications and documents must be received by the school no later than April 30, 2026. All tax and bank statements can be uploaded to our secure Documentation Upload website.

Because scholarship money and some loan funds are limited, prospective students who miss the January 2 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 January 2 deadline will receive a financial aid determination shortly after the online notification of admission.

After admission to the Yale School of Architecture, students who have been awarded financial aid are required to submit documents for verification to our secure Documentation Upload website.

For US citizens or permanent residents, this process includes submission of the student’s 2024 federal tax return and current bank statement, and the parent 2024 federal tax return and current bank statement. If tax returns were not filed by the parent and/or student, please submit the corresponding Non-Tax Filer Form.
