“Without a robust endowment, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences cannot fulfill its mission. Top-tier graduate schools attract the strongest and brightest candidates by offering generous financial support that covers all costs for the duration of study. The Endowment makes it possible to provide support that sustains exciting research across the Graduate School, benefiting the entire University. Every year, we admit just over 500 of the best students from a pool of more than 10,000 applicants, each of whom requires four or more years to complete their research, whether in the lab, in international archives, or in our own libraries and collections. While pursuing their scholarship, they also teach Yale’s excellent undergraduates and undertake other, important professional development activities. Our graduate students go on to become tomorrow’s leaders, whether as scholars, researchers and teachers, or, just as importantly, as contributors to non-academic pursuits.”
Lynn Cooley, Vice Provost for Postdoctoral Affairs, Dean of Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, C. N. H. Long Professor of Genetics, and Professor of Cell Biology and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology
