Additional Financial Aid Resources

For families with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, Right Start, the first program of its kind in Nevada, was created to increase awareness and access to Jewish early childhood programs. Jewish Nevada Right Start provides a financial voucher as a one-time incentive for Jewish families enrolling their children in a Jewish infant, toddler, or preschool program for the first time.

We are delighted to announce that scholarships have generously been made available from the Legacy Heritage Fund for the upcoming academic year. A central mission of Legacy Heritage Fund is to support Jewish education in the US. Only families with a documented need for assistance are eligible to receive a scholarship and students receiving financial assistance must be in grades 9-12. These funds may be incremental to the scholarship already being provided to a family.

We also strongly encourage you to investigate the Nevada Educational Choice Scholarship Program (Opportunity Scholarship) as an additional source of financial assistance.

There are six Registered Scholarship Grant Organizations (SGOs) within the state of Nevada. Each SGO has its own website, requirements, and deadlines.
These are:

AAA Scholarships www.aaascholarships.org/schools/nevada/
America’s Scholarship Konnection https://askscholarships.org/nevada-application/
Injured Police Officers Fund www.ipof.vegas/ipof-scholarship/

Student Choice Fund of Nevada www.studentchoicefundofnevada.org
Education Fund of Northern Nevada (Open to High School Students Only) www.efnn.org

The Adelson School Financial Aid program is designed to make The Adelson School education possible for all families based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds. The Adelson School is proud to use the Clarity Application to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
