Yale University, one of the most renowned Ivy League institutions, is now accepting applications for its fully funded scholarships for international students, including those from Pakistan.
The scholarship program is designed to support undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students, providing exceptional opportunities for talented individuals to study at Yale without the burden of financial concerns.
The Yale Scholarship is a need-based financial aid program that covers 100% of the demonstrated financial need of eligible students. The amount of funding varies based on the student’s family income, assets, and other financial circumstances.

- Full tuition coverage
- Free on-campus housing
- Meal plans and dining support
- On average, Yale’s need-based scholarships total around $50,000 per year, though they can range from a few hundred dollars to over $70,000 annually, depending on individual circumstances.
Yale’s fully funded scholarships cover nearly all expenses for accepted applicants, including:
