| 2012-2013 CSS Profile Application (Available October 1) |
Apply online at profileonline.collegeboard.com. Yale’s CSS College Code is 3987. Yale receives your profile data electronically from CSS so you do not send copies or printouts of your application to Yale. Please note: At Yale we are asking our international financial aid applicants to use the online College Board CSS Profile, if they are able to do so. This option provides Yale with more accurate and complete financial information, a consistent calculation of ability to pay, and quicker access to financial information without the delay of mailling, sorting, and imaging required for our systems. For those students who are not able to use the online CSS Profile (because of lack of internet access, lack of credit card access, or other financial difficulties), please contact our office. |
| Copy of parents’ 2011 tax return | Submit signed and translated copies of tax forms directly to Student Financial Services. |
| Applicable Supplements | Access the International Business Supplement and International Noncustodial Parent Statement. Print, sign, and send all supplements to Student Financial Services. |
| Bio Questionnaire: Application Supplement | This form allows the university to match students with donors and designees of endowed funds. Please submit online. |
