Alumni: To Request A Transcript

Many alumni choose to submit a copy of their transcript to colleges and universities when it comes time for them to apply. This is a great way to highlight your study abroad experience by showcasing your academic success on the program. If you have questions, please email Robin Kulwin.

URJ Heller High School has partnered with Parchment to order and send your transcript and other credentials securely.

 

 

Tuition and Financial Aid

With the generosity of the Heller family, and many other donors, we are able  to offer needs based scholarships for students attending Heller High. Students interested in receiving financial support are asked to follow the AMHSI process (including participating in Dream Israel) where they will have the opportunity to share that they are Heller High participants and access Heller High funds. Tuition and Financial Aid for URJ Heller High are processed through the Alexander Muss High School In Israel.
