In 2015, Gregory Sterling, the Revered Henry L. Slack Dean of Yale Divinity School, made full tuition for all students with demonstrated need a top priority. Now, thanks to generous donor support and the endowment’s strong performance, the school has achieved this goal. Beginning in fall 2022, new and returning students with demonstrated need will receive full-tuition scholarships, including coverage for their comprehensive and board fees. In addition, all students will receive a small stipend for living expenses.

Along with this new policy, Dean Sterling also announced the creation of ten new full-tuition scholarships for ministerial leadership.

The school now aims to bolster its stipends for living expenses to reduce student debt even further.
