Kehilath Yakov Rabbinical Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Kehilath Yakov Rabbinical Seminary?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $13,200 for both New York and out-of-state students, with no separately reported mandatory fees. Tuition alone is not a full annual budget: housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses can increase the amount a student needs.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition: $13,200 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• Separately reported mandatory undergraduate fees: $0.
• Average net price for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less: $2,480.
• Average net price for the $48,001-$75,000 income group: $6,931.
• Average net price for the $75,001-$110,000 income group: $7,722.

Net price is an average cost after grant and scholarship aid, not a quoted bill or a guaranteed award. In the same reporting period, the average undergraduate grant award was $12,412. The institution reported that all students received financial aid and that none received student loans; neither figure means every applicant will receive the same aid package or be able to cover every expense without borrowing. Eligible students should ask the financial aid office which federal, New York State, and institutional assistance applies to their program and what forms or deadlines govern an award.

What are the work-study opportunities at Kehilath Yakov Rabbinical Seminary?

Students who need employment while enrolled should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: eligibility must be determined through financial aid, and an award alone does not place a student in a job.

Ask the seminary's financial aid office whether its students can receive Work-Study awards, what positions are offered, and how hiring works. A prospective student can then compare expected work hours with the program's class and study schedule. Paid employment, an internship, and career counseling serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable forms of financial aid.
