Tuition for 5780 (including room and board) is $14,000.

3. Transportation: The cost of the rides to and from the airport is $40 for each ride and is not included in the tuition. Send $80 cash with your son at the start of each zman.
4. Tuition: Tuition needs to be payed in equal monthly installments. The full tuition in the form of head-checks or a designated credit card account needs to be received by the office at the start of the academic year.
Checks should be made out to Bais Sholom and mailed to Bais Sholom, 331 W Tilden St., Postville IA 52162.
Mikva:
The kehila offers the bochurim a reduced rate of $180 for mikva access for the year. Send a separate check of $180, made out to Achdus Yisroel.
Insurance:
While the Yeshiva endeavors to provide the talmidim with a safe environment, the Yeshiva cannot bear any financial burden for medical care of the talmidim.
Ask us if your son may qualify for a government sponsored insurance program.
Otherwise, confirm with your son's medical insurance provider that he will be covered while in Postville.
You can also consider purchasing travelers insurance. (Check with insuremytrip.com, squaremouth.com and quotewright.com among others.)
To send money to your son during the year:
You can PayPal funds to eliben@juno.com and the funds will be passed along to your son. Make sure to indicate that you are sending it to a friend, not to a business.

Please note that while the hanholoh tries to help with pairing up chavrusos, setting one up in advance is the more beneficial approach.
Also, if your son requires additional support in learning, please discuss it with the hanholoh in advance, so they can direct you to specific seforim and other solutions that will be helpful.

PERSPECTIVE
Please discuss the following with your son: every bochur should come with the intention that he will daven, learn, act and grow in a way that is appropriate for a tomim and chossid.
Any bochur that comes with this in mind, will definitely succeed in accomplishing these goals and will look back at his year(s) in Mesivta of Postville as of the best in his yeshiva years!
