Additional Financial Aid Sources for Students
Occasionally we come across outside tools, scholarships, and additional loan sources that might benefit you. When we do, we will post them here, so be sure to check back regularly!
Some of our students have also had success requesting modest financial support from their local Jewish federation, Hillel council, or synagogue.
Remember that you should never be charged a fee to search for a scholarship! Avoid student aid scams.
Applying for these outside funding sources is up to you, however, you are required to report any third-party scholarship and/or additional loan funding to our Financial Aid Office so that we can document it in your financial aid package.
Please note:
- Any additional funding may decrease the amount of need-based grant you receive from Hebrew College for the academic year, in fairness to any other students who might not qualify for the same third-party aid.
- Hebrew College does not guarantee or endorse the third-party resources listed here. Should you choose to apply for any of them, you accept full responsibility for the application process, contracts, fees, communications, information sharing, and repayment plans, and cannot hold the College liable for them.
While you are researching options to supplement or replace federal loans, check out tax credits for higher education that might help offset your costs and assist your long-term financial planning!
