Financial Aid

Currently, the YCMES does not provide any direct financial aid or scholarships to its students.  Under special circumstances, discounts may be applied to Arabic study at the Yemen Language Center.  Work-study programs are available for year-long study abroad students, which also provide a discount and/or stipend from work.  Outside scholarships can be used for student at the YCMES such as Fulbright, FLAS, and the Critical Language Scholarship.

Accounting

The accounting office provides financial services to students.  New students are required to meet with a financial officer shortly after their arrival to go over their payments and arrange their accounts. Most additional materials and services are purchased through the accounting office. There is also a safe where valuables can be placed with YCMES-guaranteed security.

Payments

Payment procedures differ for students coming on official university programs (where the university takes care of transfer of payment) and for students who pay on their own.  The preferred method of payment is through an international bank transfer, though check and credit card payment is possible at the main American Office, the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations.  Students coming on a university-sponsored program should first consult their financial aid and/or study abroad office at their home institution.  Students who are paying for their own studies should consult the YCMES directly.
