Financial Aid and Merit Fellowships

JTS provides generous need-based financial aid. Students must be citizens of either the United States or Canada, although certain categories of noncitizens of the United States may be eligible. Learn more about the details of eligibility for need-based financial aid.

To continue to receive Title IV student financial assistance or student loans, students must complete at least one-fifth of the required curriculum each year to meet the requirement of maintaining satisfactory progress.

JTS has a limited amount of fellowships for foreign students. Moreover, some fellowships are available to international students on a highly competitive basis through the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, 15 East 26th Street, New York, NY 10010; (212) 679-4074.

Merit Fellowships

The Rabbinical School offers several merit fellowships that enable students to focus more of their energy on their studies and their professional and spiritual development during the program. The main merit fellowships include:

• The Neubauer Family Fellowship
• The Crown Fellowship
• The Gladstein Fellowship
• The Peter Miller Family Fellowship

Our students are also encouraged to apply for The Wexner Graduate Fellowship program.

During the course of their studies our students will also have the opportunity to apply for the Schusterman Rabbinic Fellows program, and the Legacy Heritage Fund Rabbinic Fellows Program.

For more information about these opportunities, please contact Rabbi Mordecai Schwartz, director of Admissions.
