To make the application process as affordable as possible for candidates  with diverse backgrounds, the Yale School of Management uses a sliding-scale application fee structure. The standard application fee is $250. For applicants earning less than $30,000 a year, the application fee is $175. For applicants earning less than $15,000 a year, it is $125. The application fee is based on the total annual compensation information you provide in the application. If you are admitted and enroll, we will verify this compensation information. Your offer of admission is contingent on successful verification. Yale SOM waives the application fee for members of the following groups:   Active U.S. military members and U.S. military veterans Members and alumni of Teach for America, Teach for China, Teach for India, or other Teach for All Network Partners Current Forté MBALaunch or Rising Star program participants Current and former U.S. Peace Corps volunteers Current Yale graduate students Current Yale undergraduate students Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) QuestBridge college seniors and alumni Access Fellows Within the Yale SOM application, you can request a fee waiver if you meet any of these criteria.
