All information is completely confidential and will be viewed only by the JDBY-YTT Tuition Committee. Financial aid is awarded based on income and family size, with special circumstances taken into consideration.

Financial aid determination and tuition contracts and statements will be mailed as assessments are completed by the Tuition Committee. Families that haven’t applied for financial aid by June 30 will be sent a contract for full tuition.

Financial aid is available for K-8 tuition ONLY. There is no financial aid for Pre-Nursery or Nursery students. However, the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago provides JUF RIGHT START vouchers for students entering a Jewish pre-school (Nursery or Pre-Nursery) for the first time. Currently, they provide $2000 for the first child in the family and $500 for siblings. Please see: tinyurl.com/JUF-Right-Start.
