如何為申請耶魯獎學金做準備？還有其他的經(jīng)濟資肋方式嗎
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Chris, you look frustrated these days. What’s wrong with you?
 
凱瑟琳，你最近看起來很沮喪，發(fā)生什么事了嗎？
 
B: I want to apply for Yale. You know, I have been longing to study at Yale since I came to this senior high school. But my parents are average workers. We manage to make both ends meet every month. So I’m quite worried about the tuition. Maybe I have to give up my dream.
 
我想申請耶魯。你知道的，我從上高中開始就一直夢想著能去耶魯大學學習。但是我父母都是普通工人，我們每月勉強收支平衡。所以我很發(fā)愁我的學費，也許我不得不放棄我的夢想了。
 
A: Don’t worry. Money is not a problem. At Yale there is a rich diversity of financial aid available. As far as I know, when admitting students, Yale disregards whether a student has the financial ability to support his/her study here, what she really values is whether the prospective student is competent enough to be enrolled to Yale. In my opinion, your excellent performance both in class and after class will catch their attention. So the only thing left for you is to apply for an award.
 
別擔心。錢不是問題。耶魯會為學生提供種類豐富的經(jīng)濟資助。據(jù)我所知，耶魯在錄取學生的時候從不關(guān)心學生是否能夠負擔的了在此學習的費用。她真正看重的是一個學生的能力是否符含耶魯?shù)臉藴?。我覺得你在學習和課外活動方面的表現(xiàn)都非常出色，所以眼下你惟一該做的事就是向耶魯遞交獎學金申請。
 
B: Yeah. I was too deeply immersed in frustration and almost forgot that I can apply for an award. You words do remind me. Then what should I prepare for such an application?
 
是啊。我一直深陷于沮喪的情緒中，差點忘了還可以申請獎學金呢！你的話倒是提醒了我。接下來我該如何為申請做準備呢？
 
A: You should write an aid application. It ought to specify the expected family contribution which includes your parents，total income, parents，assets such as cash, savings and investments, the family size and number of children attending college or private school, your own contribution which consists of a contribution from a student’s own assets, if appropriate, along with a student income contribution from summer earnings and a student’s self-help by a term-time job.
 
你要寫一份經(jīng)濟資肋申請。這個申請中要詳述你的預期家庭貢獻：包括父母的全部收入、諸如現(xiàn)金、積蓄及投資等的家庭財產(chǎn)、家庭人□及當前正在讀大學或是私立學校的孩子人數(shù)、包括你自己的資產(chǎn)或是暑假兼職所得在內(nèi)的個人可貢獻額以及通過兼職你可能得到的收入。
 
B: So complicated. But I think it deserves my time and effort.
 
這么復雜??！但是為了去耶魯讀書，我覺得很有必要花費些時間和心血。
 
A: Yes. Yale offers the need-based financial aid to her applicants and determines financial need by subtracting a family contribution from the cost of attendance, which includes tuition, room, board，books, personal expenses and travel. In addition to the tuition, you will receive a bill for room and board from Yale, as well as the estimated allowances for non-billed expenditures  such as books, supplies, travel, and personal expenses which are standard amounts. In a word, once admitted, Yale meets 100% of demonstrated financial need.
 
是的。耶魯向其申請者提供的是以需求為基礎的經(jīng)濟資助。她所提供的經(jīng)濟資助的計算方法是從學業(yè)所需支出中減去家庭預期貢獻。學業(yè)所需支出包括學費、住宿費、伙食費、書費、個人花銷及旅行費用。除去學費，耶魯會向其申請者提供一份包含住宿費、伙食費及含書費、日用品花費、旅行費及個人支出在內(nèi)的常規(guī)標準的 預計補貼清單。總之，一旦被耶魯錄取，她會提供給學生申請的全部經(jīng)濟需求。
 
B: I see. Now I understand how the need-based financial aid works. Is there any other financial aid?
 
我知道了。現(xiàn)在我明白以需求為基礎的經(jīng)濟資助是如何運作的了。還有其他的經(jīng)濟資肋方式嗎？
 
A: Of course. You can either ask for a loan or apply for outside funds. For the detailed information about these two kinds of financial aid, you can search on the internet.
 
當然了。你既可以申請貸款，也可以申請外部資金援助。要想了解有關(guān)二者的詳細信息，你可以好好上網(wǎng)查重。
 
B: OK. Thank you for your patience and detailed explanation.
 
好的。非常感謝你耐心細致的講解。
 
A: My pleasure. Best wishes for you!
 
不客氣。祝你一切順利！
 
B: Thank you!
 
多謝！
