We just received our acceptance letter for my son for the following school year and we need to check off that we can either pay full tuition ($11,000) or that we can't pay full tuition and we want the tuition committee to call us.
I make $48k (although less once taxes are deducted!) and my husband is in kollel. His stipend goes directly towards paying our rent.
Is it even feasible to pay full tuition? Would the school work with us? What kind of tuition break can I ask for?

Isn't that what the tuition committee will discuss with you?

OP you should definitely ask for a break. Be prepared to show your W2's, etc...

In my kids school they would never make you pay full with that income. You would pay very very little. Its percentage based. But I cant speak for anyone else.

What would be the harm in having the tuition committee call you? Be prepared to show your financial records and hopefully you will get a break.

Yes have the tuition committee call you. I tell them dh is in kollel and they knock off 1k per kid each year. I’m in Lakewood so tuition and breaks are both smaller here. You will very possibly get a bigger break.

Depending on the school.
For my oldest, full Tuition was 8k for preschool, and we got it down to 5.5
