How much does it cost? And are scholarships available?

One of the questions we're most commonly asked is how much does it cost? Great question. Here's our Executive Director - Rabbi Richard Jacobs.

The annual tuition for our post high school program is $24,000 for a 10 month academic year - i.e. you pay for a 10 month year with twelve payments of $2,000.

Our current tuition rates and policies are listed on the links below.

Why does it cost so much? The answer to that is because produce a fantastic program costs money. We're in the Old City of Yerushalayim, and that is not the cheapest place to run a yeshiva, but it is one of the most spiritual and one of the most effective places to be for your learning.

So what happens if that's too much? The good news is we have scholarships, we have funds available for scholarships. We would not like anyone not to be able to come and learn here because they cannot afford to pay. The reality is we have to charge tuition and we have to have an income. And yes, that means that there's a cost to being here, but we'll do our best to help; we'll work with you.

So you'd like to come, but you can't afford it - the first step iis to go through the application process and fill in the application form. Let's see that this is really the right yeshiva for you and you are really the right person to come to this yeshiva. Once we have done that we can sit on an individual basis, and have a financial conversation.

So please don't be put off from applying because of the finances. At the same time recognize that if you want to go to a top tier yeshiva, you want to go to a place where you can go to maximise your potential and you want to have the kind of physical environment that combines this age old  tradition with the modern. world in the wonderful, otherworldly experiences of our Residence - it costs money.

What's the next step? Fill in the application form.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate, be in touch. I'm here to answer try and help as much as we can.
