Unsung Hero from Philadelphia Excels at Yale Despite Adversities

Dexter Resa is the only student from Preparatory Charter School to attend the Ivy League school. This means he is the only one from his school to go to a very prestigious university. Many important people have graduated from Yale, like U.S. presidents, Supreme Court justices, actors, and founders. Yale students usually earn around $95,961 ten years after they start school. The tuition for one year at Yale is $67,250, but most students don't pay that much. Yale helps students with financial aid, and almost 60% of new students get some form of aid. Families that make less than $75,000 a year don't have to pay for their child's education at Yale. This is because they may have other children in college or other financial needs. The cost for students who get aid is around $13,000 a year. Here is what families from different income levels paid at Yale in the 2023-24 school year.
