Are you or do you know a recent high school graduate in Jackson County who will be headed to college in the fall? Or a current college student who graduated from a Jackson County high school?

The John George Jr. Student Loan Fund was created to support local students and invest in our community.

College costs continue to rise, and affordable financing can make a meaningful difference. Graduates of any Jackson County high school are eligible to apply for student loans with a 2 percent interest rate.

If you know a student preparing for their next step, please help spread the word.

College is expensive. That’s no secret.

But what if your student loan didn’t feel overwhelming?

Through the John George Jr. Student Loan Fund, eligible Jackson County students can access loans with a fixed 2 percent interest rate. That's a fraction of what most students pay.

🎓 Same education.
🎓 Same degree.
🎓 Way less stress.

That’s what local support looks like. For more information, visit johngeorge.org.
