Support at every level helps to enhance the
core experience at Yale. Here are just a few
examples of the ways unrestricted gifts can
make an impact:
Alumni Fund donors have a proud record of supporting Yale and its students.
Those who support the Alumni Fund with gifts of $10,000 or more may name
a one-year scholarship after whomever they wish–themselves, a loved one,
or a classmate—and will receive a profile of their student. Further recognition
includes acknowledgements from President Salovey and the Alumni Fund Board
Chairman, appropriate listings in an online honor roll, and a semi-annual
e-newsletter, Leaders in Giving.
All alumni, parents, and friends are invited
to join the Nathan Hale Associates.

Scholarships Made Possible by NHA—Scholar Profiles

Austin, who hails from Washington, DC, says his time
at Yale has taught him “to be curious and not to be
afraid to take risks,” and his participation in the Directed
Studies program has challenged his “own ways of
thought and perceptions.” This grateful recipient of an
NHA scholarship values his involvement with the
Freshman Class Council, saying it has connected him
with passionate classmates who aspire to be a force for
good in society. Austin shares this desire: he hopes to
pursue a career as a social entrepreneur who helps
underprivileged communities obtain access to education,
technology, and health resources.

“I loved Yale’s close-knit community and the sense of
a family away from home,” says Amy, about why she
chose Yale. This Rancho Cucamonga, California, native
and NHA scholar is now enthusiastically exploring
courses in applied mathematics, economics, and
specifically, global economic architecture. To supplement
her studies on campus, Amy hopes to study abroad
in China “to learn more about Chinese language
and culture and to further my knowledge about the
economic and financial relationship between the
US and China,” she says.
