Yale Young Global Scholars: What Makes YYGS a Unique, Two-Week Summer Experience?

December 17, 2025 at 7:00 PM ET

Yale Young Global Scholars is one of the most globally diverse, two-week academic summer programs in the world. Serving nearly 2,000 students from 150+ countries (and 50 U.S. states), YYGS invites high school students worldwide to discuss pressing topics in STEM, social sciences, humanities, or cross-disciplinary studies. YYGS is a place where students challenge their own thinking, communicate their ideas, and form lifelong friendships.

We invite you to join this webinar to learn about what makes YYGS a unique summer experience. YYGS Interim Director Zeva Manvi will share more about the program, focusing on topics like academics, residential life, financial aid, and more! This is a rare opportunity to speak directly with a YYGS staff member.
