Once a date and time is determined, AJCC members will be notified via an email blast. The class fee is $150, not including the art supplies that you will need to purchase before class begins. AJCC full year members will receive a 50% discount off the $150 fee, made possible by the Debbie Katcoff Memorial Art Fund. Jewish Educational Loan Fund 2016 - 2017 AJCC Art Class JELF loans are need-based and offer “last-dollar” financing, meaning that JELF provides the final dollars that bridge the gap between a student’s total financial resources and the cost of attending school. Applicants must be enrolled full-time in a program leading to a degree or certificate at an accredited institution that is located in the United States, be a U.S. citizen or have lawful immigration status in the U.S. and be able to demonstrate financial need (FAFSA application required). 5 Matching Gifts or Monthly Deductions?
