Book Award Sponsorship

Esteemed alumni, as you may know, the Yale Alumni Association (YAA) encourages all alums to sponsor Yale Book Awards annually throughout their respective communities.  The award is part of Yale’s commitment to recognizing academic and personal excellence and to encouraging potential candidates for admission. Local alumni sponsor the awards that are often presented at their local or former high school. 

These awards recognize outstanding high school students who demonstrate academic excellence and intellectual curiosity, as well as strong character and leadership qualities. By sponsoring a Yale Book Award in our own communities, we can help to identify and celebrate the exceptional achievements of local high school students and help to raise awareness of Yale University and its mission. 

With a modest donation of $35, you can designate a local high school to receive a 2024 Yale Book Award, complete with a personalized bookplate, to be presented to a deserving student. Your contribution will help us recognize talented individuals in our community and showcase our shared pride in our alma mater.

You can then mail a check to the association office or pay with a credit card by using the link on the confirmation web page that will appear after submitting the form. Your support means the world to us, and we thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of deserving students.
