"We are obliged by Dean May's policy of last year to look first, after Harvard students at Radcliffe who want to return," Dean Epps said.
Yale instigated the plan as part of an attempt to meet rising operating expenses while not raising tuition rates, which are already at record levels.
The spokesman named neither the other schools involved in the plan nor any of the foundations approached for support, but indicated that all possible major private contributors had been contacted.
Even though Yale is not the only university seeking help in this way, it is the only one which is hopeful of putting the plan into effect by next year, if arrangements seem firm by January.
An official in the Harvard admissions office contacted last night said that he knew of no similar plans at Harvard and that he had not even seen the Yale announcement.
