Finances
In all of its full-time professional programs, HUC-JIR offers generous financial assistance - in the form of grants and loans – to students with demonstrated financial need as determined by the HUC-JIR Office of Financial Aid. Approximately 80% of students receive HUC-JIR tuition grants. HUC-JIR "tuition grants" are scholarships, which do not need to be repaid. The SJNM offers tuition grants of up to 75% of tuition, based on the student's assessed financial need.
In order to apply for HUC-JIR tuition grants, students must file the FAFSA. All foreign students should complete the CSS Profile in lieu of the FAFSA. Both the FAFSA and the CSS Profile Form can be filed online. Students also offset the cost of their HUC-JIR education through the stipends they receive in internships and other professional development opportunities that are a part of the curriculum.
