Tuition
At Hillel, we are dedicated to building a community where every family feels a true sense of belonging.
Our approach to tuition is rooted in our values, aiming to ensure that a Jewish education is within reach for families from various financial backgrounds.
We understand that the decision to invest in Hillel is significant for all families. Your support allows us to continue offering an enriching, well-rounded experience—one that features dedicated teachers, dynamic learning environments, and opportunities that foster growth both in and out of the classroom.
The admissions office is here to answer any questions about tuition and affordability. Reach us at admissions@hillelacademytampa.com.

Florida Scholarship Opportunities
The State of Florida offers a variety of scholarships subsidizing the cost of private school education. It is important for families who receive these scholarships to understand that they subsidize the cost of a Hillel Academy education and they DO NOT replace the cost of a Hillel Academy education.
Families who receive Florida State private school scholarships are responsible for the balance of the tuition. If the balance continues to be out of reach, families may still participate in the Variable Tuition (VT) programs.
Families who receive Florida State private school scholarships also understand that it does not guarantee acceptance to Hillel Academy. Every child participates in the admissions process and will have acceptance determined once it is completed.
Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK): This Florida scholarship is available for any prekindergarten student who will turn 4 years old on or before September 1st. If their fourth birthday falls Feb. 2 through Sept. 1 in a calendar year, parents can postpone enrolling their child in VPK that year and wait until the following year when their child is 5.
