Financial Information for Families
WELCOME TO GATEWAYS.
Gateways is committed to making every reasonable effort to prevent cost from being an insurmountable obstacle when Gateways services are recommended for a child. Payment plans are available to all families with children who are enrolled in programs or who receive services through Gateways. Financial aid is also available on a limited basis. Please note that all financial arrangements must be completed before services can begin.
Day school and Jewish Education Program fees have changed. Please review the following documents:
CONTACT INFORMATION
- For general finance questions, please contact Rachel Sommer, Administrative Assistant, at Rachel@jgateways.org.
- For general Day School Program questions, please contact Sally Whittaker, Program Administrator, at Sally@jgateways.org.
- For general Jewish Education Program questions, please contact Sonni Bendetson, Program Associate, at Sonni@jgateways.org.
PAYMENT PLAN INFORMATION
All installment plans are through FACTS Tuition Management. Please return your day school service plan or your Jewish Education Program contract with your initial payment, indicating your preferred payment schedule. If you have already enrolled in FACTS through Gateways in the previous year, do not enroll again. To enroll for the first time, please use this Gateways-specific link.
Your payment options are:
- Pay Gateways in full upon receipt of your service plan (no fee)
- Pay Gateways for the first semester and defer the second semester payment to January ($10 FACTS fee)
- Pay Gateways for the first quarter and pay FACTS on a quarterly basis ($41 FACTS fee, less $20 reimbursement from Gateways deducted from your first statement)
- Pay Gateways for the first month and pay FACTS on a monthly basis ($41 FACTS fee)
Please allow 6 weeks for FACTS to verify your financial information before your payment plan is activated. If you have any questions about a payment plan, please email Rachel Sommer at Rachel@jgateways.org.
FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION
Financial aid is available for qualified families based on demonstrated need.
Gateways is now using FAST, a financial aid processing service that several of the day schools also use. (To clarify, FAST is not the same as FACTS, the service we currently use for payment plans and used for financial aid in 2010-11.) If you have already completed a FAST application for another program, you probably received an email with instructions for applying to multiple schools. If you do not have this email, please contact FAST directly. If you do not have an existing FAST application, please follow this link to begin an application.
Financial aid applications for new students are due with enrollment, and for returning students by a deadline communicated the previous school year. All others are handled on a case-by-case basis and must be discussed with the business office. If, after completing your FAST application, you wish to communicate special circumstances that you believe have not been captured, you may include that information in an email to the financial aid committee c/o sarah@jgateways.org.
