Parsa

As a first-year medical student at UCSF, navigating high-interest loans felt overwhelming— Parsa M.’s school’s financial aid wasn’t very flexible, and the unpredictability each quarter made planning incredibly stressful. Parsa heard about JFLA through a friend and another scholarship program, and it turned out to be a game-changer.

Thanks to JFLA’s interest-free loan, Parsa has been able to focus fully on studies and planning for residency, rather than worrying about how to afford school. The process was straightforward, and receiving funds in a lump sum with manageable monthly withdrawals made everything easier. Parsa is truly grateful for this support and honored to have been awarded the loan.
