Accepted / admitted students are those who have completed and submitted an Admissions application for the current year and have received a formal acceptance from the School of Art. This is the second official step in the Financial Aid process.

Applicants who are accepted for admission and have correctly completed their financial aid application by the March 1, 2026, deadline will receive a provisional financial aid determination shortly after their notification of admission. All provisional financial aid awards are subject to final review through our Financial Aid Verification process. For details on required documents for our verification process, please review the “Financial Aid Verification” section below. Financial Aid Verification is only required for financial aid recipients who accept their offer of admission to the School.

Admitted students who enroll at the School must reapply for financial aid each academic year. The financial aid application deadline for Returning Students is May 1st.

The Yale School of Art requires all Financial Aid applicants to submit parental information on their CSS Profile in order to be considered for Financial Aid. Only in extreme cases is this information waived. If you feel you have an extreme case for which parental information should be waived, please contact the financial aid office for more information on our parent waiver process.

Instances for which parental information is waived include: deceased parents, documented abuse that has resulted in estrangement or court-ordered separation, extreme estrangement (parent(s) are not reachable without going through severe measures), or abandonment that resulted in adoption, foster, or other family care.

Unwillingness, age, marital status, and other standards of dependency are not conditions for which the School of Art waives the requirement of parental data.

After admission to the School, students who have been awarded financial aid are required to submit documents for verification. The School reserves the right to adjust a student’s financial aid award if the actual income or asset information of the parent(s), student, or spouse is different from the original information included on the financial aid application(s).

The deadline to submit Financial Aid Verification documents for admitted students is April 15th.

For U.S. citizens or permanent residents, this process includes the submission of the student’s 2024 federal tax return and current bank statement, and the parent 2024 federal tax return and current bank statement.

For international students, this process includes the submission of certified and translated student and parent 2024 tax documents from their home country, and student and parent current bank statements.

Documents NOT Accepted:

  • U.S. State Tax Returns

  • Summaries from Tax Agencies

  • Documents that are not translated into English, and/or are without a signature or official seal.

All documents can be uploaded to our secure website below using your NetID and Password. A NetID will be issued to you after accepting the School’s admission offer:
