Brief Description:

Since 1850, Jewish Family and Children's Services (JFCS) primary mission has been to assist our teens and young adults to achieve their educational goals in life. JFCS receives financial support from many Jewish donors; foundations, families, and individuals, so our most deserving students can receive meaningful loans and grants to afford their college costs.

Our recipients are strong and dedicated students who are eager to make the most of their college experience and are active in the Jewish community.
