Tuition Assistance

At its inception, the Boulder Jewish Day School (BJDS) made a commitment to the Boulder Jewish community. BJDS committed to accepting all students who are interested in a Jewish day school education, regardless of his/her financial situation.

BJDS offers tuition assistance for students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grades. There is no tuition assistance for the Early Childhood Program.

The Tuition Assistance Committee makes a decision as to the amount of assistance we are able to provide a family. All information received by the committee is treated confidentially.

In order to apply for tuition assistance, a family must:

• Complete a School Application
• Complete an Application for Tuition Assistance
• Provide a letter explaining your family’s unique circumstances
• Provide a copy of your most recently filed Federal Tax forms, including all supporting schedules and W2 forms
• Submit a $250 deposit for each student

These forms must be submitted to the school as soon as possible. The Tuition Assistance Committee meets on a monthly basis in March and April, and on an as needed basis through September. Incomplete applications will not be considered. All items must be present for the committee to render a decision.

When the Tuition Assistance Committee makes their decision as to the amount of your grant, and Enrollment Contract will be sent to you. This contract must be returned within two weeks. If we are unable to reach a satisfactory financial arrangement, your deposit will be refunded.

Please note that all book fees MUST be paid. We do not discount or provide tuition assistance for book fees.
