HFLA Loan Applications April & May
This is the time of year when students and their families learn where their students will be headed to school in the fall. HFLA is preparing to support your student by actively raising funds for the Student Access Fund (SAF) loan, and our scholarship programs.
We also continue to be a resource for individuals who are looking to make-ends-meet, afford transportation and housing, need help paying medical bills, refinancing high-interest debt and student loans.
HFLA is a community resource to help you meet unforeseen expenses and to reduce your debt burden by replacing debt that grows with an HFLA loan that only shrinks.
