Jelfies Thomas S.
“My JELF loan is giving me the opportunity to study education. Knowing the Jewish community is supporting my education and helping me accomplish my dream of going to college is very comforting. Thank you for believing in me. It is a wonderful feeling that the Jewish community is behind me and is helping me accomplish my goal of becoming a future educator.”
When I was adopted in 6th grade, the Jewish community welcomed me with open arms. With the continued support of the Jewish community and the JELF loan, I was able to choose the perfect college for me and not worry about how to pay for school. This has helped me make a dream come true by attending college.”
College is hard enough without the burden of student loan debt.
College is getting more expensive
The average cost of college in the United States is $35K a year. This cost is only going to continue to grow.
Income rarely matches the cost.
31% of Jewish families have a household income of under $50K. The Jewish community is not immune to debt or hardship.
Average student loan debt is $30K
That's a problem! With student loan debt at an all time high, JELF is here to help!
