About the scholarship program
Yale University is a private university in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, founded in 1701. Since 2002 it has hosted the Yale World Fellows Program within the Jackson School of Global Affairs, a non-degree leadership programme of about four months, from mid-August to mid-December. Each year it selects a small group of non-U.S. professionals who are 5 to 25 years into their careers and have significant accomplishments. The fellowship includes a living stipend, a furnished apartment, medical insurance and round-trip travel, with no tuition or fees. Full-time students and full-time academics are not accepted, and fellows must live in New Haven for the whole programme.

The average international award at Amherst in 2025-26 was over $84,000. Public universities such as Berkeley give no need-based aid to international students.
Working while studying
• During studies: on-campus work up to 20 hours a week in term and 40 hours during breaks; off-campus work only through Curricular Practical Training (CPT) after one full academic year. • After graduation: Optional Practical Training (OPT) for 12 months, plus a 24-month extension for STEM graduates working for an E-Verify employer. • Note: a rule proposed on 8 October 2026 would charge schools $70,000 for a first OPT recommendation and $30,000 for a STEM extension; it is only a proposal and current rules still apply. • Changing from F-1 to an H-1B work visa inside the US is exempt from the $100,000 H-1B fee.
