Annually
over 60 Clubs and Associations recognize outstanding juniors
in secondary schools by presenting over 700 books. We
hope that you will participate in this program and help us to provide
important exposure for Yale College within your community.
The Yale Book Award can be used to recruit the brightest students
from your community to Yale. This program is especially effective
as it helps us to:
- Keep or place Yale's name in the minds of outstanding high school
students
- Create a Yale presence within both the high school and the community
- Offer an opportunity for direct communication between alumni
and Yale Book Award recipients
- Add the names of top high school juniors to the Yale Office
of Undergraduate Admission's file of potential applicants
- Emphasize Yale's academic excellence

This award provides an excellent way to improve
Yale's visibility in secondary schools. To help subsidize this
program, your Club or Association might consider having individual
members
sponsor one or more awards or having an individual sponsor all
the awards at a specific school. We encourage alumni to develop
on-going relationships
with local high schools to assist in recruiting the best students
for Yale College. The Yale Book Award can be one aspect of this
relationship. An alumni volunteer who "sponsors" the Yale
Book Award can "adopt" the school and develop a coordinated
plan for recruitment with teachers and counselors at a particular
high school.If you have any questions about the Yale Book Award
Program, or if you would like additional information about the
Adopt-A-School
Program, please call (203) 432-1944. We hope you will participate
this year. |
