Hebrew Free Loan partnered with the National Council of Jewish Women San Francisco Section (NCJW SF) to offer four Tanette Goldberg Scholarships for Social Justice in the amount of $1,500 each. Scholarships will be awarded to students currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate school, who are studying or working in the area of social justice, and who intend to pursue social justice following graduation, either as a career or through volunteer work.
Hebrew Free Loan provides interest-free loans to Jewish individuals in Northern California to help them overcome challenges, pursue their dreams, and achieve self-sufficiency. Scholarship applicants are also eligible to apply for an interest-free student loan from Hebrew Free Loan.
Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW SF strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms. The Tanette Goldberg Scholarship for Social Justice was established in memory of Tanette Goldberg (1926-2013), past president of NCJW SF from 1990 to 1993. Tanette was recognized for her work in 2007 when she received the NCJW Hannah G. Solomon Award. Tanette was a tireless and committed community volunteer. She worked to solve issues in the public schools where her children attended and in the community. She fervently believed in justice, equality, and effecting positive change, whether in the Jewish community or her neighborhood.
