Important Information for the Fall Term:

What's New with  FAFSA:

For the 2024-2025 school year, FAFSA is opening later than usual.   This will have no negative effect on our financial aid process and decision release.

You can file the 2024-2025 FAFSA, online or as a mobile app, starting January 1, 2024 (or possibly sooner).  To ensure we receive your completed FAFSA, remember to include Yale's Federal School Code, 001426.

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 2024-25 academic year, the College Board opens the CSS Profile application October 1st,  2023 and Yale’s CSS Profile fee waiver process will begin in late September.  Please note that we will not consider requests until that time.

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.
