Yeshiva Kollel Tifereth Elizer Outcomes

Nearly 86% of students complete their degree within six years, though most take longer than four years to finish their rabbinical studies. The $17,200 total cost makes this one of the most affordable religious colleges in America. Almost 90% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating most come from low-income families. Graduates typically enter religious leadership roles as rabbis, Torah scholars, or community educators in Orthodox Jewish communities. These positions often provide modest but stable incomes around $40,000-60,000 annually. Monthly loan payments would represent roughly 15-20% of typical graduate earnings, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The combination of low costs, strong completion rates, and clear career pathways in religious communities creates a strong return on investment for students committed to Orthodox Jewish scholarship and leadership.
