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.

ization of more than 40
student loan funds coordi-
nated by the Jewish Voca-

spices of United Jewish
Charities, is experiencing

increase in available funds.

funds are administered by

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 to
memorialize a relative or
friend," he said.
Anyone who establishes a
fund is eligible to attend the
Jewish Scholarship Com-
mittee meetings and to par-
ticipate in the financial aid
process. If the benefactor
desires, his fund can be
earmarked for students who
pursue a particular course
of study or who attend a cer-
tain institution.

the Jewish Scholarship
Service or to find out about
