Free Loans from Jewish Free Loan Association

 Rising costs of higher education often mean that students
must either put aside their dreams of a college education or graduate
degree, or assume serious indebtedness as the alternative. The cost of
tuition, books and living expenses is a burden even for financially
stable middle-class families. Educational assistance is a priority for
JFLA. Since the establishment of the first Student Loan Fund in 1988,
JFLA has assisted more than 2,000 students with interest-free loans
totaling more than $5 million.
Undergraduate students are eligible for loans of up to $2,500 per year.
Graduate students are eligible for loans of up to $3,000 per year. All
student loans are renewable on an annual basis. Students must be
permanent residents of Southern California and enrolled as a full-time
student. Students must have a GPA above a 2.5 and two co-signers.
For more information about our student loan programs or to schedule an
appointment for an interview, please contact Saul Korin at Saul@jfla.org
or call 323-761-8830 x109.
