Financial Aid
Bruriah is committed to providing support for families with financial need. As a division of The Jewish Educational Center, Bruriah parents are eligible to participate in the revolutionary ‘Tuition Max’ program which provides a cap of total tuition payments for qualified families at a percentage of their AGI. This program makes tuition far more affordable and removes the guesswork from the Financial Aid Process.
​
Families moving into the Greater Metrowest area may also be eligible to receive a one-time Move-In Grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Metrowest of NJ towards their tuition. Applications for the grant can be found at this link: https://www.njdayschools.org/1800_grant

The Financial Aid Application can be accessed here. For more information about our financial aid process, please contact Thalea Theodorakis at (908) 355-4850 ext. 6208 or email tuition@thejec.org.

Tuition MAX
This innovative program ensures that total tuition will never exceed a reasonable percentage of family income. With a respectful and simple enrollment process, total tuition, regardless of how many children are enrolled, will be capped at a percentage of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), as determined by line 11 of your IRS tax return.
​
How to apply:
-
Please visit our website at TheJEC.org/TuitionMAX and fill out the FACTS application.
-
If you have a child/children enrolled in another Jewish school (K-12), a $5,000 credit will be applied per child to your AGI. For example, if your AGI is $180,000 and you have two children in a Jewish day school other than the JEC, your eligibility for program benefits will be evaluated as if your AGI were $170,000!
Eligibility Exceptions:
1. A family net worth over $1,000,000 (net worth includes home equity and retirement accounts).
2. Filing of Schedules C and E as part of your federal tax return.
3. Non-dual income families where there are no children kindergarten-age or younger.
​
Note: The tax-deductible family obligations are not included in this program
