Financial Aid
and Scholarships
The Hornstein Program considers all accepted students for generous scholarships (that cover all or part of tuition) and living stipends. Of particular note are our full-tuition scholarships for Russian-speaking students and our Ribakoff Scholarship. Awards are made on a competitive basis and, in part, are based on the student’s area of interest. No additional application procedures are necessary to apply for these funds.
In addition to Hornstein funds, all applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for external scholarship programs such as those listed below and to the right. Along with providing funds that can be used to supplement Hornstein awards, many of these scholarships provide significant training and mentoring opportunities for their award winners. External financial awards will first be applied toward reducing the student contribution toward tuition and, then, when allowable, toward reducing the Hornstein tuition scholarship. For students entering in the Fall of 2010, Hornstein will offer additional stipend funds to any student who receives a full or partial tuition scholarship from external sources. Please note carefully the application deadlines for each funder.
Major sources of scholarship aid for graduate study in Jewish communal leadership include:
