Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) has officially opened its application, inviting high school students ages 16-18 from around the world to reside on Yale’s campus while attending two-week sessions based on different academic tracks.
YYGS is one of the most globally diverse, accessible pre-college programs in the world, with students representing over 150 countries, including 50+ U.S. states and territories. Each year the program receives over 10,000 applications for 1,900 spots, and distributes over $3 million USD in need-based financial aid and scholarships to domestic and international students.
This coming year brings an exciting location change for YYGS students. Participants will now reside at Yale’s Benjamin Franklin and Pauli Murray Colleges. These dorms are more accessible, within walking distance of downtown New Haven, and offer air chilling technology. While different than traditional air conditioning, air chilling is a more sustainable approach that keeps rooms significantly cooler, and we are happy to report that all student and staff rooms will be air chilled during YYGS 2026.
“We are so excited to introduce the YYGS community to Franklin and Murray’s beautiful courtyards, common rooms, dining halls, classrooms, and dormitory spaces. We’re so grateful for the support of all our alumni and campus partners, and we’re focused on planning another incredible summer at Yale!” – Zeva Manvi, YYGS Interim Director
