However, I needed to finish undergrad, and I was short. So when a friend mentioned Hebrew Free Loan as a source for interest-free money for college, and then my grandmother also mentioned HFL, I looked into it.” Jon went to the HFL website and learned about the agency’s William Davidson Jewish College Loan Program. “I applied, but I didn’t expect to be helped,” Jon said. “At the time, I wasn’t sure if there was a level of ‘Jewish enough’ that I would have to meet in order to get money from a Jewish agency. Also, I was at the end of my undergrad experience, not the beginning, and I didn’t know if that mattered. None of that factored in at all, but still I felt it necessary to package myself to them as a good investment: a person with a good intern- ship, and great post-graduation prospects. Hebrew Free Loan just looked at me as a person who had a need, and they worked with me.” Jon, who majored in physics and math, graduated and went on to become a data scientist, a job that allows him to work with the numbers he enjoys. He also repaid his HFL loan as quickly as he could. “HFL helped me, and I was grateful for it,” Jon said. “I also learned that it’s the borrower loan payments that return to HFL and combine into fresh loan capital and then allow new loans to be made. It really opened my eyes that my loan payments could help the next person. It’s a group effort – community for the community.” Community donations help Hebrew Free Loan give interest-free loans to local Jews for a variety of personal, health, educational and small business needs.
