Yale Summer Programs We are currently accepting applications for the 2016 Yale Young Global Scholars Program. We have expanded our STEM offerings and will run six unique YYGS sessions next summer.  As a reminder, YYGS is an academic enrichment and leadership training program for talented high school students from around the world, who live and study on the Yale campus during the summer. This is a wonderful opportunity for high school student leaders to experience what Yale has to offer. I would also like to bring your attention to the Yale Young Global Scholars-Singapore Program (YYGS-Singapore), a program modeled off of the Yale Young Global Scholars Program. At the inaugural session of YYGS-Singapore, 200 talented high school students from around the world will have the opportunity to learn from distinguished Yale faculty, Yale students, and practitioners, all while experiencing residential life at the state-of-the-art Yale-NUS College in Singapore. Applications are available online and open to current 9th and 10th grade students from around the world. Please visit yygssingapore.yale.edu for more information about eligibility requirements and scholarships. The program will run from May 30 - June 5, 2016 and the deadline to apply is January 26, 2016.
