Rabbinical SchoolSchool of Sacred Music Rhea Hirsch School of Education New York School of Education School of Jewish Communal Service In all of its full-time professional programs, HUC offers generous financial assistance - in the form of grants and loans -- to students with demonstrated financial need as determined by the HUC offices of financial aid. HUC "tuition grants" are scholarships, which do not need to be repaid. They are provided directly to students from the College's own resources. HUC offers tuition grants of up to 75% of tuition (up to 100% of tuition for students entering the Year-in-Israel Program), based on the student's assessed financial need. To be eligible for an HUC tuition grant, a student must demonstrate more than $5,000 in financial need based on the information provided in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile Form. Approximately 80% of students receive HUC tuition grants. HUC also provides students access to federal Stafford loans and can provide information on obtaining private educational loans from banks and other financial institutions. In order to apply for HUC tuition grants or Stafford Loans, students must file the FAFSA. In addition, students entering the Year-in-Israel Program must file the CSS Profile Form. 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 education through the earnings they receive in internships, pulpit positions, and other professional development opportunities that are a part of the curriculum. In addition, each campus offers a small number of "named" scholarships, based on merit and/or financial need. These are typically awarded by the deans and program directors on each campus. All students are considered for such scholarships based on communication among the admissions office, the financial aid office, and the deans and program directors. Finally, the offices of financial aid on each campus provide some information on outside scholarships, such as the Graduate Fellowship Program of the Wexner Foundation, which provides substantial awards each year to a small number of exceptional candidates. To find out more about financial aid at HUC, or to begin the process of applying for aid, please contact the office of financial aid on any of our stateside campuses. School of Graduate Studies, Cincinnati The School of Graduate Studies grants two kinds of financial aid: scholarships, which defray the cost of tuition, and fellowships, which include tuition plus an additional cash stipend. All awards are based on merit. It is generally expected that students who receive financial support will continue to do so throughout their period of eligibility (normally four to five years). In addition to scholarship and fellowship support, the College-Institute offers many opportunities for student employment, including teaching assistantships, library and clerical work, and research assistantships. Students may also be eligible for Federal Stafford Loans.
