Financial Services UJA Federation of Greater Toronto provides financial assistance through subsidies to affiliated Jewish day schools, based on their student population whose families are in need.
Parents apply for assistance through their child's school.
UJA Federation’s Centre for Enhancement of Jewish Education (The Mercaz), allocates nearly $8,000,000 annually for this purpose. Currently approximately 2300 students at 13 day schools benefit from these funds. This money comes through the generous support of community donors through UJA Federation's annual campaign. More than 30% of the students within the Mercaz-funded schools received subsidies last year.
