Federations & Others
The Los Angeles Hillel Council has created a database of grants, loans, scholarships and other forms of financial aid that are available specifically for Jewish students.
In addition, many Jewish federations offer scholarships for local students or students who plan to attend college in their area to help offset the costs of tuition and other college-related expenses.

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 $2,000 per year. Graduate students are eligible for loans of up to $2,500 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.

Hillel at UCLA Korach Fund
These grants are provided by a generous contribution from the Korach Fund. This fund was established help subsidize students’ travel expenses to national conferences of Jewish import as well as study and travel opportunities to Israel and for Tzedek alternative breaks. One of the goals of these subsidies is to encourage student leadership. The students could be those already active in Hillel or those who would become more involved as a result of attending an outstanding conference. Financial need, therefore, is not the only criterion.
Deadline for summer funds is April 30th. Rolling deadline during year with a minimum 4-week submission prior to experience.
