Supporting Scholarships and Fellowships University Wide

Students need an affordable education today more than ever. The Reunions Rally for Students invites Yale College alumni of every class to support students in every school. Your contribution to scholarships or fellowships anywhere at Yale will earn double credit toward your next class reunion.

How You Can Help

Donors making qualifying gifts between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, will receive Yale College reunion class credit for double the amount of their gift.

Eligible for this double credit are individual gifts and gift intentions to scholarships and fellowships in Yale College, the Graduate School, or the professional schools:

Qualifying Gift Range

• Classes of 2001 and younger: $100,000–$3,000,000
• Classes of 2000 and older: $250,000–$3,000,000

Please note that only the actual amount of the donor’s gift or gift intention will be counted in the reported For Humanity campaign total and entered in the donor’s record.

Gift intentions may be payable over up to five years. Qualifying gifts may be added to already established scholarship funds but will only receive program credit for the new gift or commitment. Gifts to establish annuities or charitable trusts are also eligible. Bequest intentions and group gifts are not eligible.

New scholarship and fellowship funds created as part of the Reunions Rally for Students program may be named by the donor and the scholarship recipients will be recognized as [Fund Name] Scholars.

Donors will receive annual reports on the students named to their scholarship funds (once $100,000 or more has been paid toward the gift intention).

Annual Gifts for Student Support

Donors may receive regular reunion credit for giving by making Alumni Fund gift in support of scholarships or fellowships:

• You can make an annual gift of any size to Yale College, the Graduate School, or one of the thirteen professional schools, directed to support scholarships or fellowships.
• With a gift of $10,000 or more you can name a one-year Nathan Hale Associates scholarship to benefit a Yale College student. An annual gift of $10,000 or more to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences enables you to name a Nathan Hale Associates graduate student fellowship.
• Qualifying gifts are eligible for double credit.
