UJA Day School Tuition Fund

Learn about and apply for the UJA Day School Tuition Fund.

The UJA Day School Tuition Fund is designed to broaden access to Jewish day school education and support families seeking a deeper connection to Jewish life.

In recognition of the families and professionals who strengthen our community, the fund will provide meaningful tuition support to eligible families: those enrolling in day school in middle or high school for the first time.

UJA is committing $15 million — $5 million per year for three years — to fund this initial pilot. This initiative reflects UJA’s ongoing commitment to the future of Jewish education and its accessibility to a broad and diverse community.

The program officially launched in Fall 2025, with tuition support beginning in the 2026 – 2027 school year for the inaugural cohort of families. Applications for the 2027 – 2028 school year (Cohort 2) are now open.
