Application for Financial Aid

Dear Parents,

Please complete the online financial aid form in its entirety. You must also submit complete copies of your tax returns for the past two years and your latest payroll stubs. If your last year's tax forms are not available, a W-2 form can be submitted. These can be scanned and emailed to registrar@hacds.org, subject line "Attention financial aid committee." It is the parent's responsibility to make sure the application is complete. If you have any questions, please contact the Hebrew Academy Business Manager.

The Hebrew Academy has a long tradition of offering financial aid to eligible families. We balance this tradition with the need to operate a financially sound institution. Thus, the Board has established a process to apply for financial aid. Funding for financial aid is limited and will be distributed on a first come first serve basis. It is incumbent on the parents to complete and return the application and necessary documents as soon as possible.

We wish to stress our firm conviction that the key to providing the highest quality education for our children lies not with large charitable contributions (although they are very important), but rather, with the commitment of all parents to make sacrifices to assure that the Hebrew Academy has the funds to procure the the best staff, the best texts, and the best equipment to educate our children.

Thus, we wish to emphasize that we expect parents receiving assistance to attach the highest priority to pay as close to full tuition as possible.

Please understand, we are attempting to balance the needs of the entire school for financial responsibility with your child's needs for a Jewish education at a reasonable cost. We do not wish to offend anyone, rather just balance the interests of all concerned. The decisions in all cases are very difficult.

The committee will keep all information confidential.

Our goal is to respond to applications approximately two weeks after receipt. In order to help you understand our process, we are attaching our current guidelines as established by the Board of Trustees. The Board, of course, reserves the right to amend the guidelines.

Your cooperation in the financial aid process is greatly appreciated.

All the best,

The Financial Aid Committee
