Yale Book Awards
The Yale Book Award is presented to an outstanding junior at high schools throughout the Metropolitan Boston area. The award is part of Yale’s commitment to recognizing academic and personal excellence and to encouraging distinguished high school students to apply to Yale. Local alumni sponsor the awards and, if consistent with school policy, may present the award at their local or former high school.
As described by the Yale Alumni Association, the Yale Book Award serves to:
Bring Yale’s name to awards assemblies each year where the most outstanding students, their parents and key teachers, administrators and guidance counselors are present
Offer an opportunity for conversation between alumni and Book Award recipients
Encourage students who had not previously considered themselves likely candidates for Yale or similar universities to widen their horizons and lift their hopes
We request an annual donation of $35 for each award you would like to support, but we welcome donations in any amount. To learn more, visit the program's homepage at http://aya.yale.edu/content/book-award.
You are welcome to make a donation through the module below, though you are also encouraged to contact our head of outreach at outreach@yaleboston.org to coordinate the school whose award you’ll be sponsoring.
