Financial Aid
To lower barriers for participation in YIRA, all Yale students who receive financial aid from the university are eligible to receive comparable financial assistance to participate in YIRA programs. This aid can be utilized for a variety of costs, such as conference chairing or secretariat fees, if applicable, but does not cover optional pre-conference travel for international programs.
Please note: this program provides financial aid for Yale students who are part of the team for a YIRA program. If you are a student from another institution who is interested in receiving financial aid to attend one of our programs, please contact that program directly.
Students wishing to apply for financial aid should complete the form found here. All applications are strictly confidential; YIRA will never disclose the submission of a financial aid application or any of the details contained in an application.
