Yale Scholar

$ 2,500,000   20 opportunities

The University and the School of Medicine have joined forces to establish a new initiative known as the Yale Scholars Program. Designed to attract the finest and most promising young scientists to Yale’s faculty, the program will provide institutional support of $250,000 per year to cover the start-up costs of a new faculty member’s research. In their fifth year, these scientists are expected to be sufficiently established to generate funding from federal or private sources, and the Yale Scholar position will be offered to a new scientist entering the field, repeating the cycle and further enlarging our pool of top-rate faculty. A named Yale Scholar position can be established with a gift of $2,500,000, to be matched 1:1 by the University. The donor will receive reunion and campaign credit for the full $5,000,000 endowment.
