International applicants may apply for the Yale International Loan or any loan of their choice. For information, contact the Graduate School Financial Aid Office at gradfinaid@yale.edu or 203-432-2739.
Beginning with the 2022-23 application cycle, EGC has sponsored a Sub-Saharan African Student Scholarship.
