Today's Jewish undergraduate and graduate students are facing higher tuition costs than ever before.

The cost of college has more than doubled over the past four decades — and student loan borrowing has risen along with it. More than half of bachelor's degree students have student loans, graduating with nearly $30,000 in education debt.

The demand for scholarships for Jewish students has risen quickly in recent years. Thanks to our generous donors, Hillel provides tuition scholarships for Jewish students to meet rising higher education costs.
