Tuition for the 26-Day program:
Due to the incredible generosity of the Ziering family and our other BCI supporters, we are able to offer this year’s program at a cost of $1000. However, if you apply by the Early Bird deadline of March 31st, the cost is only $750. Scholarships are available as needed, and processed after a participant has been accepted into the program. International participants are additionally eligible for a travel reimbursement scholarship.

Payment for the Early Bird deadline is due within four weeks of your acceptance date. Full refunds are available for cancellations made by May 1, 2025. If you are accepted after the Early Bird deadline, payment is due within two weeks of your acceptance date.

Tuition for the 10-Day Program:
At BCI, we are committed to maintaining a unique experience that is financially accessible to all young adult Jews who wish to participate. Due to the incredible generosity of our supporters and of Marilyn and Sigi Ziering, BCI is able to offer the 10-Day BCI Experience on a sliding scale of $300 – $3,000. The tuition fee covers meals, housing, staffing resources, and all program-related expenses for the full duration of the program.

We never want finances to be a barrier to participation. If you have any concerns or questions about payment, or feel unsure about how much to pay, please feel free to reach out to Rabbi Myra Meskin, BCI Director (bci [at] aju.edu (bci[at]aju[dot]edu)) who can talk through it all with you.
