Financial aid from Yale may have tax implications for international students as determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States.
- International students whose country does not have a tax treaty with the United States will be assessed 14% tax on any Yale financial aid in excess of tuition. We refer to this as Federal Tax Withholding and it is charged to your student YalePay account each semester.
- If your country has a tax treaty with the U.S., you may not be subject to the federal tax withholding charge once you visit the Yale International Tax Office and complete the Sprintax Calculus.
