Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Scholarship, Research, and Practice
Yale leads the world in teaching and research that expand knowledge, celebrate humanity, and bridge the differences between people and cultures.
Supporting Access for All Students
Tomorrow’s leaders will come to Yale from a multitude of backgrounds, contributing diverse opinions, insights, skills, and perspectives that strengthen the university. We believe that the most promising students—regardless of origin—must be able to choose Yale and flourish here. This means taking conscious steps to combat discrimination, while providing the support students need to overcome barriers to higher education.
Yale welcomes giving to support financial aid, summer work and study opportunities, and other areas of student need.
Centers, Programs, and Services
You can help to fund the staffing and program needs of the many centers, programs, and services at Yale that assist students with aspects of campus life. For a complete listing, visit the Get Support page of the Belonging at Yale website.
Endowed Faculty Positions
Giving in support of faculty positions and graduate fellowships enriches the university by creating new opportunities for scholars who will bring a broad range of experience and expertise to Yale.
Expanding Access Across the University
Yale College, the Graduate School, and the professional schools are committed to increasing student diversity. Equal opportunity and diversity are fundamental to who we are as a nation and as a university, and we benefit immeasurably when people bring a wide range of talents, perspectives, and ideas to our community. A diverse Yale is a more vibrant, more relevant place—and one that sends extraordinary alumni into the world.
But funding to make a Yale education affordable and accessible is not equal across the university. In the professional schools, where endowments for student support are small, there is a significant need for funding to ensure access to a Yale education, regardless of financial means.
Across the professional schools, Yale aims to expand its funding so that students with demonstrated need may complete their degrees and pursue their professional goals without incurring debt. Your support of new endowments can move us closer to that goal.
