How is BJE Exploring Jewish Day School Affordability?

National Financial Aid and Tuition Models
Jewish day school education is associated with the highest levels of academic achievement and is one of the most effective means of transmitting our heritage to the next generation of Jewish children, ensuring a vibrant Jewish future.  BJE works diligently with schools and foundations to increase children's access to Jewish education through endowment development and grant opportunities.  Examples include the Jim Joseph Foundation LA High School Affordability Initiative and 
Generations  LA, which is made possible with the support of the AVI CHAI Foundationlocal donors and the collaboration of PEJE (Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education).

There is still much work to be done to increase the affordability of Jewish education in Los Angeles and to that end, BJE is hosting a meeting with Dan PerlaProgram Officer for Day School Finance at the AVI CHAI Foundation, on the topic of: Financial Aid and Tuition Models for Jewish Day Schools.  Dan has the pulse on the various creative financial aid and tuition models being implemented around the country and will share best practices with Los Angeles school lay and professional leaders.
