Tuition Assistance

 

TAP into your child’s future! 

Introducing a new way for families to access Jewish education at Chicago Jewish Day School.

The Tuition Accessibility Partnership (TAP) Fund is an alternative tuition model for families interested in enrolling their children in Jewish day schools in Chicago. The TAP Fund caps tuition at 12% of a family’s annual adjusted gross income (AGI).

TAP was created for families with an AGI between $200,000 and $350,000 per year. Families who fall within this range receive a capped tuition total, regardless of the number of children they have enrolled in K-8 Jewish day schools.

The TAP Fund is powered by Crown Family Philanthropies, a Chicago-based foundation dedicated to partnering with its communities to effect just and lasting social impact across generations.

Chicago Jewish Day School is a proud participant in the JUF Right Start program.

A gift to your family from Chicago’s Jewish community. 

Jewish Early Childhood Education... the Gateway to Jewish Life

We believe that Jewish early childhood education is so important that we created JUF Right Start to make Jewish preschool and daycare more accessible and affordable for Jewish parents.

The program’s centerpiece is a gift voucher - the first of its kind nationally - that will substantially offset the cost of Jewish early childhood education. The voucher can be applied to the tuition of the first child in your immediate family to attend a participating Jewish preschool or day care.

The Bernard Heerey Family Foundation Scholarship Program was established to meet the needs of middle income families with multiple children in day school, including at least one child in middle school. We are grateful to the Bernard Heerey Family Foundation for providing generous tuition assistance to eligible CJDS families.
