2007 SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

The Yale Club of New Haven will contribute over $250,000
to 67 exceptional undergraduate and graduate students
from the greater New Haven area during the coming academic year.

“With ample generosity and support, the Yale Club of New Haven augments
the Yale experience in significant and enduring ways, and it is to its benefaction
that I remain indebted. Beyond the groups that furthered the excellence
of my undergraduate days, the Yale Club, in great measure, remains unsurpassed
amongst my fondest reflections, for it constituted the interchange between
financing my undergraduate education and the committed intention I hold
of sustaining my relationship with Yale long after graduation.”

Professor of English and Humanities
