How do students discover JELF?
JELF works hard to raise awareness and ensure that Jewish students and their families know about our assistance. As such, we connect with a wide network of contacts including:
- Jewish agencies
- Synagogues of all denominations
- Jewish Federations
- JCCs (Jewish Community Centers)
- JFS/JFCS (Jewish Family Services)
- Jewish youth groups
- Hillel chapters
- Chabad chapters
Additionally, JELF focuses on marketing beyond the Jewish community, therefore we also reach out to public high schools, college counselors, universities, and technical programs across the U.S. We value the support of individuals and organizations who help spread the word. If you’d like to assist in our outreach efforts, please reach out through the contact form.
From application to aid
Contact information for Local JELF Administrators will be provided by JELF after application submission.
If you are from JELF's five-state region but don't see your community, JELF will schedule your interview directly.
Our loans, which never accrue interest, help borrowers save instead of creating more debt while earning their higher education degree.
