Rabbinical College of Long Island

What is the cost of studying for a year at Rabbinical College of Long Island?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $9,790, with $500 in required fees; the reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These are published charges, not the amount every student ultimately pays.

• Tuition and required fees: $10,290 for the academic year.
• Reported room and board: $5,010.
• Reported books and supplies: $208.

Those figures add to $15,508, but they are not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses, and other individual costs may also apply. Room and board should not be added for a student who does not incur that particular charge. A student's aid offer and housing arrangement are needed to calculate a useful personal budget.

In the reported aid figures, 93% of students received financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award was $8,045. Average net price - an estimate of cost after grant aid, not a guaranteed bill - was $9,158 for students from families with annual incomes of $48,000 or less. Students should review their own eligibility for federal, state, and institutional assistance rather than assume they will receive the average award.

What are the work-study opportunities at Rabbinical College of Long Island?

Students considering part-time work should distinguish an ordinary job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, if included in an eligible student's aid offer and offered through the college, generally requires the student to secure a job and earn wages; it is not an automatic tuition discount.

Applicants should ask the financial-aid office whether the college currently participates in Federal Work-Study, what positions are available, and how students apply. They should also ask whether academic scheduling permits the hours they expect to work. A regular part-time job can provide income without being part of a financial-aid award, but it may not receive the same treatment in an aid package.
