Jewish Education Scholarships

The Foundation provides needs-based scholarships to students attending ten Jewish day schools, including an initiative for students with disabilities, and dozens of local Jewish pre-schools. The funds for this aid are raised through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program and the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) program. Families interested in applying for scholarships should contact the school directly for information.

The Jewish Federation operates a need-based scholarship program for Jewish children attending nearly 50 supplementary schools at synagogues and other programs throughout Greater Philadelphia. Funds are distributed to qualified schools based on enrollment. Schools are responsible for determining need and distributing aid. For more information, please contact the supplementary school program directly.

The Jewish Federation provides need-based scholarship funding to students at Abrams Hebrew Academy, Cheder Chabad, Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy, Kohelet Yeshiva High School, Politz Hebrew Academy, Raymond and Ruth Perelman Jewish Day School, Kosloff Torah Academy Girls’ High School, Torah Academy, and the OROT program for children with disabilities.
