Tuition Assistance
Hillside Islamic Center Saturday School Tuition Assistance
HIC is dedicated to providing education to all, regardless of financial ability. In accord with this philosophy, we have established the following protocol in seeking financial aid:
1. Periodic Payment Plan/Deferred Payment
Parents can request for a periodic payment plan whereby the total payment of the tuition and fees will be split up over two or three installments, to be paid in full by May 2019.
2. Reduced Tuition
If the parents are unable to fulfill the tuition and fee obligations through the options above, HIC will consider a tuition reduction. Determinations are made with strict scrutiny and confidentiality. Families requesting financial assistance must submit their last year’s tax returns, bills(mortgage payment, electric bill, etc) and a letter stating why financial aid is needed in order to be considered for any assistance.
Please Note:​ Families requesting financial assistance are not guaranteed to receive any assistance but will be considered on a case by case basis.
