February 17, 2012, is the preferred deadline for filing a financial aid application. Families who file a financial aid application and submit their tax returns and other required documentation on or before February 17, 2012, will be informed of their aid grant in the enrollment packet mailed out with acceptance letters on March 9.

Families who file an application after February 17 and/or submit their tax documentation after February 17, including those applying later in the admissions cycle, will be informed within three weeks of their applications being considered complete.

NOTE: Families enrolling a child in a Jewish day school for the first time may wish to investigate CJP's Discover Day School grant program (for 2012-13, only entering kindergarten through 8th grade students are eligible). You may apply for school-based financial aid and for Discover Day School simultaneously, but must choose between accepting school-based tuition assistance (for any children in your family) and using a CJP Discover Day School Check.
