Alumni Fund Scholarships

Yale SOM Alumni Fund Dean's Society Scholarships

Name an Alumni Fund Scholarship with a Gift of $10,000 or More

In a competitive business school marketplace, scholarship support can be the deciding factor in a student’s choice to attend the Yale School of Management.

Donors who give $10,000 or more to the Yale SOM Alumni Fund for scholarships may name a one-year scholarship after whomever they wish—themselves, a loved one, a classmate, or favorite faculty member— and will receive a profile of their student.

Scholarships are key to attracting the very top talent and making SOM more affordable and accessible. Your significant contribution to a one-year, merit-based scholarship has a direct and immediate impact on students who want to bring about positive and purposeful change.

I am both very honored and grateful to be awarded an Alumni Fund Scholarship. Due in no small part to this generosity, I was able to confidently make the decision to attend Yale SOM. It has been a phenomenal privilege and an absolute joy to be here so far.

I desired to acquire the latest management knowledge at an institution aligned on fair, sustainable development. Yale SOM—and its mission to educate leaders for business and society—is the perfect fit for me to reach my goal, all made possible by my Alumni Fund Scholarship.
