How it works:
Rabbi Steven Foster ELC and Jewish Colorado have some funds available for tuition assistance. You must reapply for tuition assistance each year. The Denver Preschool Program (DPP) also provides assistance for families in qualified preschool programs, which includes our School, whose children are in their last year of preschool before Kindergarten. No matter your financial need, all families will qualify for some assistance with DPP. If you receive tuition assistance from Rabbi Steven Foster ELC, Jewish Colorado, or the Denver Preschool Program, it will be received as a monthly credit. Scholarships are granted on a 12-month basis, however if you withdraw prior to the end of the 12 months, the remaining scholarship funds will be forfeited.
Apply for assistance from Temple Emanuel & Jewish Colorado
2024-2025 school year:
If you are interested in applying for tuition assistance, please complete an application with F.A.C.T.S. by April 1, 2024. This year F.A.C.T.S. will be accepting your 2022 or 2023 taxes for documentation purposes. This earlier submission date will allow Jewish Colorado to allocate their funds on a quicker basis, and you can be notified sooner of your scholarship amount awarded.
In your F.A.C.T.S. application, once you are registered to attend the Rabbi Steven Foster Early Learning Center, you must designate us as your school of choice. You can fill out one application for multiple schools, but in order to receive financial aid, you must designate one school as your final school of choice. We cannot consider an application if we are not selected as the school of choice by April 1. Only families that are officially registered with us and “verified” by F.A.C.T.S. are eligible for consideration of financial aid.
