Students should never be denied the opportunity to fulfil their career dreams because they’re disadvantaged by financial limitations. The Chev’s Jewish Students Education Fund (JSEF) has assisted many thousands of Jewish students in the Johannesburg area with tertiary education interest-free, soft loans for over 65 years.
Once they graduate and start working, students can repay the loan at reasonable and manageable rates. This allows them to launch their careers without the enormous pressure of crushing student debt.
The good news is that since 2023, the Fund has extended its reach beyond Johannesburg to include Jewish students across the country. The national expansion and growth of the JSEF is enabled by the generosity of the Donald Gordon Foundation. JSEF is seeing great interest from the Cape and Natal regions and expects the number of students they assist to increase significantly.
The Chev is proud of this commitment to education, which has far-reaching benefits. Funding education is an investment into the future of our Jewish community because today’s graduates are tomorrow’s leaders. In our highly specialised world, a sound education is often the key to success and independence for young people.
Apply for an interest-free loan for a tertiary education. Open to Jewish students countrywide.
