Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) 2019

What I meant was the 28th at 8 or 9 pm

I am from India. Its 7.00 am on 28th here

@Nnig03 got it . Tnq

Ah makes sense.

@Nnig03 OMG REALLY! YOU’RE FROM CAMEROON!?!? THAT’S WHERE I’M FROM! Or at least that’s my country in terms of background and heritage. I was originally born in the U.S but both my parents are from Cameroon and it’s my ethnic origin so I consider it my country! That’s amazing! It’s so nice to meet you! What program did you apply to?

Please guys do you know on which basis they give financial aid and how often they go as far to pay the travel ticket?

@Lunarlitgend Ohhhhh that’s so cool nice to meet you too… I applied to ASE and FST, what about you?

@Nnig03 ooohh! That’s awesome! The subject I chose was the complete opposite of those! XD
I applied to the LPC or Literature Philosophy and Culture. It’s the only program I applied to because it’s the one program I want to attend and truly care about. :slight_smile:

@Nnig03 It is solely based on your financial need. I dont know how often they cover your travel expenses. But last year about 50k+ USD was set aside to cover travel expenses. So if u r poor enough, you will definitely get it. I am also hoping to get some good financial aid.

@Nnig03 Hey. Financial Aid is offered is offered on a need based basis only. Also. FA doesn’t cover up travel costs to and from the Campus. We need to bear the expenses ourselves

@Lunarlitgend… Ah yeah I see… really hope that you’ll make it

@georgejogi2002 I really hope to receive it if selected … it will be very painful to miss the program just because of its cost

@Nnig03 . Me too. I am also from a poor family background. It would be impossible for me to attend the program without good FA.

@Nnig03 You too :slight_smile:

@georgejogi2002 Their website does mention that Travel expenses will not be covered. Also which sessions did you apply to?

I saw from one of their posts on facebook that the spent 50k for covering travel expenses. In their website it is specified that they provide travel assistance in ‘rare’ cases. That’s all I know. Sorry if I gave a wrong info. I applied to FST, ASE and BBS. In same order of preference.

hi everybody! I applied to PLE, BBS & LPC. super anxious and nervous, hope the best for all of us!

Does anyone know if there is a specific time they come out? If so, when? Or can I see it in the morning?
