Like any Ivy League school, a degree from Yale University has the potential to help you go very far in life.
The New Haven, Connecticut-based university has a long list of notable alumni, including actors Angela Bassett and Jodie Foster, Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, and billionaire businessman Tom Steyer.
Those are just some of the undergraduate alums — the list of notable alumni from Yale's graduate programs is even longer and includes several other U.S. presidents, Supreme Court justices, actors, founders and more.
Plus, Yale students go on to command a median salary of $95,961 a decade after starting school, according to the Department of Education's College Scorecard.
But attending Yale can come at a steep cost. For the 2024-25 school year, undergraduate tuition is listed at $67,250. Additional costs, including housing, food, materials and student fees, brings the estimated total cost of attendance to $90,975 per year.
Many students don't really end up paying that much, though. Here's what students and their families typically pay for a Yale education.
Yale meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for students with institutional scholarships and does not expect students to take out loans, according to its website.
Nearly 60% of first-time undergraduate Yale students received some form of financial aid in the 2021-22 school year, according to the latest National Center for Educational Statistics data. That includes 17% of the class receiving Pell Grants and 51% of students receiving institutional grants and scholarships.
Students who receive federal aid paid an average $18,535 for the 2021-22 school year, according to the most recent College Scorecard data. The median net cost for students receiving aid drops to $13,000 a year, according to Yale's website.

Grooming the next generation of narcissistic sociopathic leaders with endowment and taxpayer money.
Is there a Doctorate Degree in Finger Painting?
So you’re sticking up for Yale?
(Actually my point is that I hate people who post articles without commenting on them themselves, or at least giving a very brief summary. There should be a rule about that.)
I couldn’t afford to finish my degree at U of Chicago in the early ‘80s, despite (9%) loans. These days students in my parents’ earnings bracket get a free ride.
Imagine if the price you paid for your house was based on...your income, or the price you paid for your car was based on...your income, or the price you paid for groceries was based on...your income.
Why bother trying to get a raise or promotion, then?
RE: There should be a rule about that
You are welcome to suggest this as a rule to the moderators.
I personally don’t post a comment until I first read what others have to say.
And remember this: Posting an article does not necessarily mean one agrees or disagrees with everything in it.
Many yes, but not all Yale students are narcissistic sociopathic leaders.
California is moving to charging your electric power based on your income.
Most kids are idiots.
Here is how I did it in a private university.
Spend time in the military - get GI bill.
Go to work for a company that has tuition reimbursement.
Once they accept you, they are very flexible when it comes to your schooling. And you can go to private schools, not the cattle farm public universities.
Darn challenging to work full time, do a good job, raise a family and maintain at least a “B” average, but it can be done.
Takes longer to do it but I got my degree, was hired as an engineer, and zero student debt.
Three of my former students joined the Maine National Guard and received free tuition. With other grants and work study funds they graduated nearly debt free. Three of my students worked 15 hours a week at the library for 30 weeks at $15.00 per hour. Total income for the year: about $6700 a year. Some RAs (resident assistants) can receive free room and board (tax free).
“California is moving to charging your electric power based on your income.”
Yep. I think it’s already in place. Can’t do that in Texas very easily, since we only send our income information to the feds.
“There should be a rule about that.”
How very ‘progressive’ of you.
All Liberal Arts schools are Marxist indoctrination centers. They accept government grants that they pass along to the promising little commies so they can afford 6-figure college education.
As long as gov’t backs the cost of school then the price will go up and up and we all pay.
Because the houses you could afford may not be in a safe area???
I’ll try that again. Two people look at the same house, both have enough cash to buy it, yet one person has to pay 3 times as much if he wants it, because he’s a doctor, where the other guys is a librarian. Why should the librarian strive to improve her pathetic life to make more money, when it just means that houses for her will cost more, than if she just stays in the porn business?
