Toby Bresky helps identify Jewish students needing funds for ...
I've long been familiar with the tremendous work and tireless efforts that Toby Bresky of JFSA expends on behalf of area college students in their search for college scholarships.
Therefore, it was a pleasure to read that her efforts are being publicly lauded ("Milestones honors trailblazer Toby Bresky," CJN, June 9). Fifteen years ago, I founded the Scholarship Program of the Cleveland Advertising Association which gives out $20,000.00 yearly in scholarships to college juniors and seniors majoring in advertising, public relations and marketing at Ohio schools. Toby has helped me identify Jewish students who could benefit from these targeted funds. Many of "our" students who received CAA scholarships have gone on to terrific jobs within the Northeast Ohio advertising and public-relations industry and are active, contributing members of our local Jewish community; they found it unnecessary to migrate to other markets.Additionally, Toby continues to refer students to The Hebrew Free Loan Association.

Clock Ticking On Lower Education Loan Rates
PORTLAND, OR 2006-06-30 Friday is the last chance for college students and graduates with variable interest loans to lock their rates, before they rise almost two percentage points tomorrow.
Courtney Sproule, with the Oregon Student Association, says it's particularly important that Beaver State borrowers take advantage of the last few hours before rates change.
Courtney Sproule: "Students in Oregon have seen tuition increases of over 50% over the last six years. They're very familiar with tuition rising, and their debt levels rising, and this is just one more opportunity to save a couple thousand dollars, for students, as their rates are going to go up."
Some banks are keeping phone lines open after hours today to deal with the high volume of students and graduates looking to lock rates before the July 1st hike.
