The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) at BAIS assists families who have demonstrated genuine financial need as they commit to private education for their child(ren). BAIS resources for tuition assistance are limited and vary by year, and the primary responsibility for tuition payment remains with the family. There are two types of tuition assistance: TAP (need-based) and a Multi-Child Discount. The Multi-Child Discount provides 3% off the second child, 5% off the third child, and 10% off the fourth child and beyond. Applicants must submit a TAP application each year at enrollment or admission, and must include documents such as a cover letter, most recent tax returns, bank statements, and employer policy details. TAP awards are determined by BAIS and are kept confidential; awards are not transferable and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis while funding allows. Misrepresentation or withholding information can disqualify the applicant and may require repayment of any awarded assistance.
