SECURITY FEE: For the 2024-2025 school year, we will once again be providing full-time armed guards at all three facilities. Assuming NJ State once again grants a $175 per student security subsidy, we will assess a $100 per student security fee for the shortfall. This will be a mandatory fee.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: It is our goal to have a fair policy to both the parents and to the Yeshiva with regard to financial assistance. As the Yeshiva’s budget would not be covered even by all parents paying full tuition, it is imperative that all families carry their share of the load to the best of their abilities. Parents seeking financial assistance should request a scholarship application from the Business Office at (732) 777-0029 x211, to be submitted no later than May 16th to insure timely processing. Applications received after May 16th WILL NOT be processed unless accompanied by a non-refundable $250 processing fee. No scholarship applications will be accepted after June 10th.
THERE IS NO TUITION ASSISTANCE FOR NURSERY, KINDERGARTEN OR FAMILY FEES.
NO REGISTRATION WILL BE ACCEPTED UNLESS ALL PRIOR TUITION OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID UP TO DATE.
