Financial Aid for Cantorial Ordination

Cantorial Ordination

We offer generous tuition scholarships to students based on merit and need.

  • Atara Merit Scholarship
  • HUC General Scholarship (need-based.)

The application process for both kinds of scholarships is listed on our HUC application for the program.

For need-based scholarships, one also needs to fill out the FAFSA® (Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid) Form and use the school code G04054.

For international students seeking a need-based scholarship please fill out the CSS Profile.

FAFSA/CSS Profiles are due in conjunction with HUC application deadlines to the College. Scholarships are awarded to students when one is admitted to the College and are awarded for all years of their study.
