JELF helped me in law school with last dollar financing. I was very fortunate that my parents were previously partially contributing to my educational expenses to reduce the amount of loans I needed. In the middle of law school my dad needed complex surgery which meant time off work and additional medical expenses for my family. Having my JELF funds gave our family additional peace of mind and reduced the burden during a time my parents could not contribute as much to my educational expenses. They were supportive and made the process easy. I would recommend them to any student.
The average cost of college in the United States is $35K a year. This cost is only going to continue to grow.
31% of Jewish families have a household income of under $50K. The Jewish community is not immune to debt or hardship.
That's a problem! With student loan debt at an all time high, JELF is here to help!
