Yale College Dean Pericles Lewis announced on Wednesday morning that the two non-competitive opportunities for undergraduates receiving financial aid to obtain funding to travel abroad, participate in internships or conduct research will be reduced to one after summer 2026.
Beginning in summer 2027, the International Study Award and the Summer Experience Award will be replaced by a non-competitive, one-time-use Summer Experience Grant, which will fund “one approved summer program, including Yale Summer Session Abroad, research and internships,” according to Lewis’ email announcement. The change is a part of Yale College’s effort to reduce its budget in anticipation of the endowment tax hike, Lewis wrote in the announcement.
