How is the money applied to tuition?
Depending on the amount earned, families will receive a $100/ $225/$325 tuition discount per month, on the following month’s invoice (on a 10 month billing cycle).
Can a family receive Oorah for multiple children?
Yes. There are no additional learning hours required per child.
How many years can a family receive Oorah funding?
A family will receive Oorah funding until all their children graduate from high school. In fact, Oorah gives up to $4,500 for high school students ($1,000 more than for elementary school).
Can a family receive both Oorah and Chinuch Yehudi?
Yes. A family can receive up to $3,500 from Oorah and another $1,000 from Chinuch Yehudi–totaling a $4,500 tuition discount.
What happens if we do not fulfill our learning commitments?
If a family does not fulfill their learning commitment, the next tuition invoice will only reflect the base $100 Oorah discount. The learning cycle renews each month, and lost hours may not be made up the following month.
