Financial Aid and Merit Fellowships

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

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. This is in order 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, New York  10010; (212) 679-4074.

Merit Fellowships

The Rabbinical School also 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 Wolkin Fellowship
• The Gladstein Fellowship
• The Peter Miller Family Fellowship

For more information about these opportunities, please contact Rabbi Charles Savenor, director of Admissions.
