Rochelle Zell Jewish High School
Dedicated To Affordability W
e are proud to offer personalized approaches to help Jewish families manage tuition. Each year, we provide tuition assistance to nearly 50% of our student body to ensure that every qualified student has the opportunity to attend Rochelle Zell Jewish High School. “Words cannot express the gratitude we have for Rochelle Zells’ commitment to affordability. RZJHS has made Jewish education a viable option for our family. Their sensitive and confidential process makes asking for support that much easier.” -Rochelle Zell Parent It is the philosophy of Rochelle Zell Jewish High School to keep the school within financial reach of all our families. Having qualified, motivated students from diverse economic backgrounds strengthens the school in many ways. Our need based tuition assistance program enables us to enroll students whose families are unable to afford the full cost of attendance. Over $10 million has been awarded in tuition assistance since 2001. Need-based grants can range from $1,000 to full tuition. Our average award is approximately $16,000. Tuition assistance awarded in the first year of attendance will be consistent throughout the student’s tenure at Rochelle Zell Jewish High School unless there is a significant change in the family’s financial circumstances. Financial need is determined by many factors including income, certain expenses, assets, allowable debts, family size, number of children attending tuition-charging schools and colleges, and costs associated with synagogue membership and Jewish summer camp. Applying for financial aid does not influence admission decisions. All financial aid is held in the strictest confidence.
