The Summer Experience Award provides a stipend for either a domestic or international opportunity to Yale College first-years, sophomores, and juniors on Yale financial aid.
All students are welcome to submit their completed applications by the priority deadline. The final deadline is May 2, after which incomplete or late applications will not be accepted.
International students and students pursuing international internships are strongly encouraged to submit a complete application by the priority deadline. International students pursuing U.S. opportunities also must contact the Office of International Students & Scholars to discuss work authorization.
The SEA is not competitive. Eligible students who have secured an eligible opportunity will receive $4,000 for a U.S.-based opportunity or $6,000 for an international experience (The SEA is reduced to $4,000 for a remote international experience).
Students are welcome to set up an appointment through Yale Career Link to speak with an advisor, discuss eligible opportunities and have their questions answered.
