Tuition Costs: Rabbinical & Parabinnical

The cost of tuition for students in Hebrew Seminary’s Rabbinical School and Pararabbinic Program depends both on the number of courses students take in an individual semester and the timing of payment of tuition. 

Except in cases where rabbinical students and pararabbinic students create with the Dean of Students, Rabbi Shari Chen (rabbichen@hebrewseminary.org), an alternative tuition repayment plan customized to the students’ particular needs–students follow the default schedule of tuition payment outlined below.

Default Schedule of Tuition Repayment

To secure class enrollment, Hebrew Seminary expects a minimum payment of 20% of the semester’s tuition one week prior to the first day of the coming semester. Rabbinical and Pararabbinic students with an outstanding balance of $200 or more after making the first payment for the semester are billed for monthly payments of $200 until the balance has been paid. When the outstanding balance of a student’s tuition costs amount to less than $200, students are billed the outstanding amount. 

Interest Rates in Tuition Repayment

Students who remain enrolled in courses each academic year in one of our programs are not charged interest on any outstanding balance. An annual interest rate of 3% of a student’s outstanding balance goes into effect after a student has been ordained, graduated, or withdrawn from their program at Hebrew Seminary.
