Tuition Assistance

At Bernard Zell our mission is to engage students in a program of rigorous studies through a variety of classroom and real world learning opportunities, to educate students to be active and informed citizens in our pluralistic community, to inspire them to develop Jewish literacy and to guide them as they embrace their chosen Jewish practice and beliefs.
We are proud to offer a robust Tuition Assistance program, of all families that apply, the average award is 40% of tuition and fees. Details on our Tuition Assistance Program can be found below. Outside of Bernard Zell, there are other financial assistance opportunities which includes the Tuition Accessibility Partnership (TAP) Fund, and the JUF Right Start program.
