JUF Right Start

If you are a Jewish family (one or both parents identify as Jewish), you may be entitled to a tuition reimbursement ($500-$2000). Many families have taken advantage of this amazing opportunity! 

What is JUF Right Start?

In an effort to encourage Jewish education and strengthen a child's bond to the Jewish community, JUF Right Start will reimburse a portion of your child's tuition for attendance at a Jewish Preschool.  This is NOT A NEED BASED program!

To apply and get more info:

Head to the JUF/Right Start webpage for an application and more information. Or you can contact JUF Right Start  by phone at 312-444-2808 or by email at RightStart@juf.org.
