Yale University

Yale University Yale University is a private Ivy League research university located in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701 in the Colony of Connecticut, the university is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States. Originally chartered as the "Collegiate School", the institution traces its roots to 17th-century clergymen who sought to establish a college to train clergy and political leaders for the colony. In 1718, the College was renamed "Yale College" to honor a gift from Elihu Yale, a governor of the British East India Company. Yale employs over 1,100 faculty to teach and advise about 5,300 undergraduate and 6,100 graduate and professional students.

California Institute of Technology Student Budget & Cost of Attendance Our financial aid awards for 2014-2015 are based on a budget of tuition and fees plus allowances for living expenses, books, etc. These budgets reflect our estimate of the cost of a moderate style of living in New Haven for the nine-month academic year. * Note that to date University Health Coverage costs for 2014-2105 have not been set- as such this budget presently defaults to the 2013-2014 rate. Room, board and personal expenses: This allocation represents a reasonable student expense for housing, utilities, food and other personal expenses. Travel: An additional allocation will be made to the cost of attendance to account for travel costs from the student's permanent home address (as reported on the Need Access and/or FAFSA) to New Haven based on a universal assessment of average travel costs on a state by state or by country basis. Health services coverage: Mandatory fees include membership in the Yale Health Plan (YHP), a comprehensive pre-paid group practice plan.
