Yale has a rich and unique history being such a mature college. They excel in research, management, and mathematics. Their graduation rate is above 95% which is amazing for a university with classrooms as small as twenty-five students.
Yale has a specific scholarship and grant program for financial aid. For tuition or dissertation support, independent projects, or research internships Yale offers financial aid in the form of Fellowships, which are unique to Yale. Fellowships can also be awarded for formal coursework and studying language outside of the United States. Community and Public Works are another way to help pay Yale's expensive tuition by collecting a potential Fellowship.
