Tuition Assistance

At Katz Hillel Day School, we deeply understand that educational costs can be a significant burden for many families. We believe that every child deserves quality Torah and secular education, and financial constraints should never be a barrier. We are dedicated to supporting our families and have a proud tradition of doing so. Each year, we grant over $1,800,000 in scholarship assistance to families in need, ensuring that affordability doesn’t stand in the way of a child’s bright future.
