Important Announcements:
What's New with FAFSA:
For the 2025-2026 school year, the FAFSA will be opening later than usual. This will have no negative effect on our financial aid process and decision release.
The 2025-2026 FAFSA, online or as a mobile app, is expected to open December 1, 2024. To ensure we receive your completed FAFSA, remember to include Yale's Federal School Code, 001426 once completed.
We encourage you to create an FSA ID now, so that you can access the FAFSA once it is available.
CSS Profile Fee Waiver Requests:
For the upcoming 2025-26 academic year, the College Board has opened the CSS Profile application as of October 1st, 2024 .
Undergraduate Financial Aid will begin reviewing requests for CSS Profile fee payment codes beginning in November for Early Action applicants and in February for Regular Decision applicants. Currently, the offices of admission and financial aid do not require the CSS profile to proceed with our processing. If you have additional questions please contact our office.
Please also note that the College Board offers fee waivers for U.S. applicants from families making up to $100,000 a year. To see if you are eligible see CSS Profile’s Information on fee waivers.
Thank you for your interest in undergraduate financial aid at Yale!
