Mission: Jewish Educational Loan Fund (JELF) provides interest-free, last dollar loans to Jewish students in need for their higher education. We are dedicated to the Jewish students in our five-state region of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia (excluding metro DC). We believe that students should pursue the academic path that is best for them. Recipients attend a wide range of U.S. accredited college, graduate school or degree-granting vocational programs. We strongly believes that money should not stand between a student and the education that they need to excel in life. (Less)

JELF - Jewish Educational Loan Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1948, and donations are tax-deductible.
