JELF, in partnership with the Richmond Jewish Family Services and Jewish Community Federation of Richmond, helps Jewish students reach their academic goals.
To qualify, an applicant must be:
- A permanent resident of FL, GA, SC, NC, and VA (excluding metro DC) but can attend any U.S. accredited school
- Enrolled full-time in a program leading to a degree or certificate
- In good academic standing

JELF loans are designed to help cover costs associated with the educational and living expenses that other financial aid often does not cover, such as travel, rent, food and books. JELF’s 0% interest loans help save borrowers thousands of dollars in high interest-bearing debt each year.
With 45 million Americans in some form of outstanding interest-bearing student loan debt, this savings is a significant benefit to the Jewish students that JELF serves annually.
