Yale helps these students follow their academic dreams through initiatives like New Haven Promise (NHP), a college scholarship and career development program that encourages students to return to New Haven after graduation. As NHP’s founding and primary sponsor, Yale provides up to $5 million per year in direct tuition funds for city residents who graduate from a New Haven public school and attend college in Connecticut</p> <p>Since NHP’s inception, over 2,800 New Haven youth have received scholarship funds. Additionally, Yale provides paid internship opportunities for New Haven Promise Scholars who return to or remain in New Haven during their university summers.</p> <p>90 percent of Promise scholars are students of color and 70 percent are the first in their families to go to college.

When he was young, his parents would return home to find him sprawled on the floor with maps, dinosaurs, and books about everything from Egypt to the solar system. In junior high school, one of his teachers took notice, recommending him for Yale’s Pathways to Science program. “That one interaction changed my life completely,” he says. “As a kid, I was always interested in science, but I didn’t know how to direct my passions. Now, through Yale, I’ve learned about things like coding, statistics, astronomy, and paleontology.”</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer id="section-footer" class="section section-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div id="zone-footer-wrapper" class="zone-wrapper zone-footer-wrapper clearfix"> <div id="zone-footer" class="zone zone-footer clearfix container-12"> <div class="grid-2 region region-footer-first" id="region-footer-first"> <div class="region-inner region-footer-first-inner"> <div class="footer-logo"><a href="http://www.yale.edu" class="y-icons y-yale y-mark"><span class="element-invisible">Yale</span></a></div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-6 region region-footer-second" id="region-footer-second"> <div class="region-inner region-footer-second-inner"> <p class="copyright"> <a href="https://usability.yale.edu/web-accessibility/accessibility-yale">Accessibility at Yale</a> · <a href="http://www.yale.edu/privacy-policy">Privacy policy</a> <br> Copyright © 2024 Yale University · All rights reserved </p> <div class="block block-footer-message block-footer-message block-footer-message-footer-message odd block-without-title" id="block-footer-message-footer-message"> <div class="block-inner clearfix"> <div class="content clearfix"> <p><a href="/about">Contact Us</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-4 region region-footer-third" id="region-footer-third"> <div class="region-inner region-footer-third-inner"> <div class="block block-menu sharing block-menu-social-buttons block-menu-menu-social-buttons odd block-without-title" id="block-menu-menu-social-buttons"> <div class="block-inner clearfix"> <div class="content clearfix"> <ul class="menu"><li class="first leaf menu-facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/YaleUniversity" class="fa fa-facebook-square"><span>Facebook</span></a></li> <li class="leaf menu-twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/yale" class="fa fa-twitter"><span>Twitter</span></a></li> <li class="last leaf menu-youtube"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/yale" class="fa fa-youtube-play"><span>YouTube</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></footer> </div> <div class="region region-page-bottom" id="region-page-bottom"> <div class="region-inner region-page-bottom-inner"> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> <![CDATA[//><!]]> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://onha.yale.edu/sites/default/files/js/js_JMVekk522eOkII71K9F5yD4Su-iRqPdTR_-LxjPAtMk.js"></script> </body> </html>
