Families requesting scholarship for The David Stone Hebrew Academy and Toledo Talmud Torah provide financial information to a JFS professional who evaluates the situation and makes a recommendation to a confidential scholarship committee which makes the final decision. This process also enables JFS to direct families to other resources to ease financial burdens.
For more than 40 years the Hebrew Academy doors have been open to all children within the Toledo Jewish community. Children of other faiths who have elected to experience the educational excellence that the Academy has to offer have always been welcome.
