Tuition Assistance FAQs

Tuition Assistance Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

1. What are the Tuition Assistance (TA) deadlines?

Families may apply for Tuition Assistance between January 15th through April 11th, 2025.  All applications must be submitted during this 3 month period to be eligible and considered for Tuition Assistance. TA Awards are issued within 3 – 5 weeks after a full application is received (including supporting documentation). We highly encourage families to apply early to maximize their award potential.
 
For any new family that enrolls at RMBA between April 11 and August 1, the TA Committee will review those applications as they are received. 
 

2. How does a family know if they qualify for Tuition Assistance?

Tuition Assistance takes many factors into consideration, such as income, assets, and various family circumstances. Tuition Assistance is a confidential process and is offered as a family award. RMBA is committed to paving a path towards affordable Jewish education. 
 

3. Who sees the Tuition Assistance information that we submit?

The Tuition Assistance Committee processes all applications with the utmost respect for the privacy of each family submitting an application. All information and conversations are handled with the utmost confidentiality. 

4. I am a new family who was on tuition assistance in my most recent school. Will my current award be taken into consideration when I apply?

For families moving to our school from another Jewish Day School, we will review their past year's Tuition Award when making our Tuition Assistance decisions. Be sure to include this documentation when you submit your application. 

5. Who do I contact if I have further questions?

To determine if your application has been received, please contact Robert M. Beren Academy's Business Office, 713-723-7170 ext 226 or email [email protected].
