CollegeGrants.org
Students are highly encouraged to seek the assistance of federal, state and local grant programs that offer financial aid. Unlike a student loan, these grants do not have to be repaid and are indicative of an ever-increasing awareness that the future economy – and overall social infrastructure of a nation – depends on the best education opportunities for all young adults.
Description of Services:
No student should ever be denied the opportunity to pursue a degree from a higher education institution. Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult for students and their families to pay the exorbitant cost of tuition, room and board, and necessary expenditures.
In 2011 the price of a two-semester or three-quarter college year is rising above $20,000 for private schools, approaching $12,000 annually for public universities and more than $5,000 per year for community colleges and trade schools.
Students are highly encouraged to seek the assistance of federal, state and local grant programs that offer financial aid. Unlike a student loan, these grants do not have to be repaid and are indicative of an ever-increasing awareness that the future economy – and overall social infrastructure of a nation – depends on the best education opportunities for all young adults.
One of the major problems students and their families have with financial aid programs is how to get the process started. The task can seem formidable, but there are plenty of resources available to help in finding out the details of a specific grant opportunity.

Military Case Management (Jewish Family Service)
Like civilians, military families are subject to crises such as financial struggles, depression, serious illness, divorce, and stressful parenting situations.
Description of Services:
Like civilians, military families are subject to crises such as financial struggles, depression, serious illness, divorce, and stressful parenting situations. When added to the already difficult lifestyle of military personnel (that often includes family separation during deployments and relocation away from loved ones and friends), these problems can become too challenging to manage alone.
Jewish Family Service is dedicated to providing support to low-income, active duty military personnel and their families. Our professional case managers conduct needs assessments and refer families to appropriate resources both within JFS and out in the community. We also provide limited emergency financial assistance.
Jewish Family Service recognizes the sacrifices of our military families and we are committed to helping you during your time of need.
Additional Information:
Military Case Management services include assistance with: basic necessities, such as food, clothing, and shelter; transportation; specialized mental health and counseling referrals; daily coping skills; advocacy; budgeting; intervention in the midst of a crisis; public benefits; and referrals for professional services and community resources based on your specific situation.
