Our financial aid program is designed to make Rockwern affordable for Cincinnati's Jewish community. Our goal is to welcome and support a diverse group of students, including those who would not otherwise be able to attend Rockwern. You can click on the link above to begin our financial aid application. Have questions about it? Contact Carye Hutchison.

Rockwern Possible

For families who prefer not to complete the full financial aid process and who have at least one child in K - 8, you may be eligible for Rockwern Possible. This program is designed for families with income levels at or above $150,000, Rockwern Possible will cap a family's total tuition for the school year at 12% of Adjusted Gross Income. The greatest benefits are typically to families who have two children and AGIs in the range of $150,000-$250,000 and to families with three children and AGIs in the range of $150,000-$350,000. Rockwern Possible does not replace the school’s current financial aid program, and families with any income level are encouraged to apply for financial aid if their needs are greater than the savings offered through Rockwern Possible.

EdChoice Scholarship Program

All Ohio K - 12 students are now eligible for a full or partial EdChoice scholarship. Regardless of your school district or family income, you can receive scholarship dollars.

There are two types of EdChoice scholarships. Families are eligible for one or the other, but not both.

  • The EdChoice Expansion program is based on income.  Each K - 8 student is entitled to receive between $650 - $6,165 through this program; please review this chart to see how much you may be eligible to receive.

  • Traditional EdChoice is based on where you live. Families who are assigned to a failing school can receive a $6,165 scholarship (in 23 - 24, amount may change in future years).

Once your child is admitted to Rockwern, we will guide you through the EdChoice application process.
