Section 4: Jewish Observance Requirements

It is our intention that every student accepted to the Chabad BA program will be charged only an amazing $10,000 per academic year for room, board, and tuition. This is one of the least expensive 4 year colleges in the Unites States. It is our goal that every student that graduates will have no student debt upon graduation!

The full cost of a fully accredited 4 year degree from RCA is $23,000. Thanks to our generous sponsors, we encourage all enrolling students to apply for the Rabbi Moshe Herson ztz"l Scholarship which every student may apply for regardless of financial need. Upon being awarded the Rabbi Herson's Scholarship, your annual cost for attending Chabad BA will be $10,000. Some additional small fees may apply.

Since learning Torah and Performing Mitzvos is an integral and essential aspect of an authentic Jewish education, the following Jewish Observances are required for students on campus:

Shabbos and Yomtov Observance
Only allow Kosher food on campus
Students must wear a kippah (yarmulke) at all times
Participation in daily prayers
Putting on tefillin for prayer

You have a choice of answering one of the two following questions to be awarded the Rabbi Moshe Herson ztz''l Scholarship.

How important is Torah and Mitzvos to you at this point in your life and to which extent have you been involved with them? Why is learning Torah and performing Mitzvos important to you?
