List College, JTS’s undergraduate school, is dedicated to meeting 100% of demonstrated need to accepted students and also offers merit-based financial aid.

When applying for financial aid, the entire budget is taken into account by the school, including tuition, fees, housing, books, food, and other expenses. For the Joint Program with Columbia, financial aid is awarded from JTS. For the Double Degree Program with Barnard, financial aid comes from both JTS and Barnard. Students should check the JTS website for appropriate forms for financial aid applications depending on their choice of Columbia or Barnard.
