Greetings!
I thought you might be interested in a recent article about the Yale Young Global Scholars Program(YYGS), 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.
Given your role with the Yale Club, we hope you’ll share the information about our program with your network of Yale alumni, particularly those in the educator sector. Below, I am providing the link to the YYGS article and some short talking points.
I would also like to bring your attention to the Yale Young African Scholars Program (YYAS), an initiative modeled off of the Yale Young Global Scholars Program, which was launched this past summer in Ghana and Ethiopia (read the recap article). YYAS is a high-intensity, tuition-free residential program designed for African students attending secondary school on the continent. In summer 2015, the sessions will be held in two new host countries. For information and eligibility requirements, visithttp://globalscholars.yale.edu/africa. Please feel free to share this information with your constituencies in Africa.
Thank you in advance for passing along this information and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (203) 436-5976.
Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season,

The Yale Young Global Scholars Program 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. The program features intensive undergraduate-level coursework and interaction with renowned Yale faculty and practitioners in the fields of history, political science, law, economics, international affairs, public health, and environmental science.
Students may apply to any of the three, two-week summer sessions offered: Politics, Law, and Economics(June 23-July 6) focuses on important ideas and thinkers in the American political and intellectual tradition; International Affairs and Security (July 9-22) explores strategic lessons from history and their application to contemporary international affairs; and Science, Policy, and Innovation (July 25 – August 7) examines interdisciplinary approaches to global health, energy and environment, and climate change.
Last summer, 48% of the Yale Young Global Scholars attended high school outside the United States, representing 80 different countries. Participants bring a wide array of perspectives into the classroom, fostering international awareness and further enhancing the stellar academic curriculum.
The application for summer 2015 is now available online at http://globalscholars.yale.edu/ and applications are due February 26. Admission to the program is very selective, and need-based financial aid is available to students who qualify.
