HFLA-SA Education Loans: A Recent Graduate’s Testimony

June 2, 2023

“I just graduated with a double degree in Marketing and Business. Thanks to Hebrew Free Loan, I was able to finance some of my expenses & tuition with no interest loans for all 4 years. I had no idea what a difference paying interest can make until my last semester. I had to get an additional private loan, and, during that last semester, they required me to pay over $100 per month in interest-only payments! It was horrible to pay every month, and the loan amount stayed the same. None of my payments came from the amount I borrowed. It felt like a total waste of money and is the exact opposite of my Hebrew Free Loan. Every payment we ever made came off the amount I borrowed, which is a good feeling to see the balance get lower each month because there is NO interest! Hebrew Free Loan saved me and my parents so much money. Thank you!”

HFLA-SA is excited to offer interest-free Education Loans for students, up to $5,000 annually for four years, in interest-free, no-fee higher education loans.

We also continue to be a resource for individuals who are looking to make ends meet, afford transportation and housing, need help paying medical bills or refinancing high-interest debt. Want to send your child to summer camp? We can help. Unbudgeted car repairs? That too!
