At Tampa Torah Academy, we believe that every Jewish child deserves an exceptional education, from infancy through high school, in a Jewish environment. Even when families face financial challenges, our commitment remains: to educate, inspire, and empower the next generation. As such, we will never turn away a student for financial reasons.
After your child has been accepted to TTA, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for tuition assistance during the registration process. For a detailed breakdown of the TTA admission and registration process, please read below.
The first step in the tuition assistance process is applying for any government funding available to your family.
Applications for government programs are submitted directly to each agency, according to their submission guidelines. Once these government resources have been exhausted, parents can apply for tuition assistance from TTA.
Below is a list of some of the programs available to TTA families.
If you’re not sure what your family is eligible for, please contact Rabbi Moshe Niman at 240-893-6512 or mniman@tampatorah.com.

The Florida Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities is a government funded program that assists with school expenses for children that require additional support. Contact Rabbi Moshe Niman at 240-893-6512 or mniman@tampatorah.com to find out if your child might be eligible.
The second step is to apply for all available scholarships. Please refer to our Scholarships page for more information.
If you’ve exhausted government funds and the available scholarships, and tuition still isn’t affordable, it’s time to apply for a scholarship from TTA. Each family’s case is securely and carefully reviewed to determine need.
Fill out a secure, confidential tuition assistance application, by reaching out to Rabbi Rubenstein at rabbirubenstein@tampata.org. Once it’s filled out, please send it back to Rabbi Rubenstein along with any necessary supporting documents.
After you submit your financial aid application and all supporting documents, the TTA Tuition Committee reviews your application.
The TTA Tuition Committee will notify you of their scholarship decision.
