Tuition & Scholarships
A DTA education should be within reach for every Jewish family.
Families should feel comfortable beginning the admissions process even when full tuition is not within reach. We work personally with each family to explore payment plans, outside scholarships, and need-based assistance through DTA.

Flexible Payment Options
Choose the payment schedule that works best for your family. Tuition may be paid in full, in three installments, or through an extended payment plan. All tuition payments are managed through FACTS.
Scholarships and Tuition Assistance
DTA works with school-based, state, community, and Jewish education scholarship programs. Each program has its own eligibility requirements and application process, and families may qualify for more than one source of assistance.
You do not need to determine the right options on your own. Our Registrar will help you understand which programs may apply to your child and guide you through the next steps.

Our Heritage
Founded in August 2020, the Our Heritage/Menachem Foundation program encourages Jewish day school enrollment, matching grants to participating day schools, who enroll students coming from public schools.
