We're so excited to welcome you to Yale this summer!!! First-Year Scholars at Yale (FSY) provides a cohort of incoming first-year students with the opportunity to engage early on in the Yale experience for six weeks in the summer. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, FSY will take place virtually for 2021. However, particpants will still have the same access to activities, coursework, and seminars designed to facilitate and enhance their transition to Yale. You will start your first semester having been exposed to Yale’s resources and with a team of advisors and friends in place to help you along the way.

And the support won’t stop after FSY. You will also have the opportunity to connect with the larger First-Generation, Low-Income community in the fall and throughout your time at Yale through various social supports, academic mentorship, and financial guidance. We can’t wait to meet you virtually soon! We know this will be an unforgettable and rewarding experience as we welcome you to the Yale community!
