Scholarship Service Is Seeking Additional Funds to Aid Students It's no secret that college costs have risen dramati- cally in the past few years. But college students and their parents aren't the only ones feeling the pinch as tuition costs climb and housing and other fees show the effects of inflation. The Jewish Scholarship Service, an umbrella organ- ization of more than 40 student loan funds coordi- nated by the Jewish Voca- tional Service under the au- spices of United Jewish Charities, is experiencing an increase in sudent re- quests far greater than the increase in available funds. "For calendar year 1979 we've committed ourselves to loans exceeding $100,000 for 66 students," said John L. Greenberg, chairman fo the Jewish Scholarship Committee. "By compari- son, last year we lent $66,275 to 52 students. "It's a tribute to our com- munity that we have such funds available. But infla- tion and the rapidly rising costs of college tuition are causing problems for us." Loans are granted on a basis of economic need. Applicants, who must be full-time students at accredited institutions, prepare a budget listing their anticipated ex- penses and other sources of income, which may in- clude family contribu- tions, part-time jobs, sav- ings and other schol- arships or loans. Applications are re- viewed at three yearly meetings of the Jewish Scholarship Committee, and an interest-free "loan package" is prepared from the subscriptions of several different funds. "We have a few major funds, including Maimonides Women's Au- xilliary, which has assisted 117 medical students with loans of $147,000 since 1949. The National Council of Jewish Women has con- tributed a similar amount," Greenberg said. "Other large funds are the Einstein Fund of Temple Beth El and the Hebrew Free Loan Association-Probus Club fund. A number of the other funds are administered by the Jewish Welfare Federation-United Jewish Charities Endowment Pro- gram." Most of the applicants are graduate students, though undergraduates may also apply. "Some of the costs for pro- fessional programs are just fantastic," said Greenberg. "For example, tuition for a second-year student at the University of Detroit Den- tal School is $6,000, and books, fees and supplies are another $4,500." As a result, children from relatively well-off or middle class families are applying to the service for the first time, he said. Inflation is also affecting the rate at which students can continue to help these students." Greenberg pointed out that a scholarship fund can be easily established. A pledge of several thousand dollars is necessary, but it can be paid over a period of several years. "A person can establish a fund in honor of a birthday or anniversary or other happy occasion or t , memorialize a relative friend," he said.
