Need-based Aid

OVERVIEW

Need-based tuition assistance is available through any one of the TAU International offices to students who can demonstrate sufficient financial need.

If your program qualifies, you will receive the tuition assistance forms with your pre-departure handbook.

Those enrolled in masters programs are not eligible for need-based tuition assistance. Inquiries must be directed to the program organizers.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

To be considered for need-based tuition assistance, U.S. students must submit the following documents to the Office of Academic Affairs in New York:

1. Tuition Assistance Request Form

   This form is provided to all semester and yearlong students with their acceptance packets. Please use the 'Comments' section on the form or a separate note to provide any additional details or explain any special circumstances, which you think may help in explaining your financial situation. Note that incomplete forms will automatically be denied.

2. Student Aid Report (SAR)

   Your home school's financial aid office may have your copy, or you may download a copy from FAFSA’s website to submit along with your application. If you have never filled out a FAFSA you may do so by logging on to www.fafsa.ed.gov.

   Tel Aviv University's U.S. Department of Education's Title IV Code (OPE-ID) is: 008373-00 (or electronic: G08373). To verify online, please click here and enter code G08373.

3. Form 1040

   Your parents' most recently filed joint Income Tax Report (1040), or separate 1040's if filed separately; or your own 1040, if filed as an independent.

Tuition assistance application deadlines:

Tuition Assistance Forms are sent to students in their admissions packets. Interested students must return the form with applicable documents within two weeks of receipt of packets.

Currently, TAU's tuition assistance is not available to summer-session students.
