Yale also provides need-based financial aid of over $3.4 million USD to both domestic and international students, as discounts covering up to 100% of tuition costs. With no grades or course credit, YYGS encourages students to approach all aspects of the program creatively with the understanding that they set their own limits. After successful completion of the session, students will receive an electronic certificate.

The sessions in the diverse and inclusive environment of Yale will help students analyse issues from different perspectives which may help them further in enhancing their overall learning. Living and learning alongside peers from around the world will allow the students to broaden their own views about the world through learning about countries and cultures they have never encountered before.
