Scholarship

Scholarships are an important part of the YLS program. We know there are students who just can’t afford the program and who would benefit from it and bring a lot to the experience of the rest of the class. If this is your situation, please do not hesitate to ask for a scholarship. It’s a confidential process. No one accepted into the program will be denied participation for financial reasons.

Will you be requesting scholarship assistance?
