Pardes' tuition structure reflects subsidies by generous donors who wish to
support Jewish text study; student tuition fees cover only one-third of
program costs.
Pardes staff does their utmost to ensure that no qualified student is turned
away for financial reasons: tuition scholarships, living expense stipends
and interest-free loans are available to applicants. In addition to the
scholarships listed below which are available exclusively to Pardes
students, there are numerous other sources of funding for study in Israel.
