The 2021/2022 UCEF grant application will open January 31st and close on February 28th, 2022 To qualify for a UCEF Grant you MUST meet the following requirements: Family must have a minimum of 2 children in eligible schools to apply for UCEF grants. Family must pray regularly in a Brooklyn Syrian / Sephardic community Synagogue. Only children in UCEF participating schools are eligible for funding, and count towards the 2 child minimum. (Visit this page to see if your school is included.) Only children in 1st grade through 12th grade are eligible. UCEF will verify with the schools, that each applicant is in fact enrolled for that school year. The $ amount of a UCEF grant cannot exceed an individual child’s tuition cost. (Example- David is eligible for a UCEF grant of $3,000, however his total tuition cost is only $2,000. In such a case a grant will be made on David’s behalf of only $2,000). If you do not submit your 2020 tax forms, current tuition statement for all applying students, and any other documentation requested by TADS by the deadline FEBRUARY 28th, you will NOT be considered for this award. To be eligible for a UCEF grant, the applicant’s total tuition cost for all eligible children must be a minimum of 10% of the family’s gross income as shown on their prior year’s tax documentation. The ‘total cost of tuition’ is the amount of $ that the family negotiated with the schools to pay, not the schools listed rates of tuition. UCEF Family Income Eligibility Information: A family whose gross income is less than $100,000 per year is exempt from the 10% requirement noted above and is automatically eligible for grants if they have a minimum of 2 children in UCEF participating schools. A family whose gross income is greater than $350,000 per year is not eligible for UCEF grants at this time. Important Note: You will only be awarded a 2021/22 grant if you currently have 2 children in grades 1-12 from the approved School list and have an open balance on this year’s tuition bill. If you do not submit your 2020 tax forms, current tuition statement, and any other documentation requested by TADS by the deadline FEBRUARY 28th, you will NOT be considered for this award.
