New funding to start a career in Jewish education
London School of Jewish Studies students now eligible for government loans
Students at The London School of Jewish Studies’ (LSJS) can now apply for financial support to undertake a degree in Jewish Education.
The Hendon-based school is now registered with the Office for Students (OfS) meaning that UK students can access support for their course fees via a government loan. Candidates for the LSJS BA, or educators who want to develop their career via the LSJS MA, can apply for financial assistance.
Being registered means that LSJS has demonstrated to the OfS that it provides well-designed courses that deliver a high-quality academic experience for all students, supporting them from admission through to completion and ensuring that their outcomes are valued by employers or enable further study.
The LSJS BA (Hons) in Jewish Education, which is validated by Middlesex University, is also now accessible to students outside London who can join a distance learning version of the Degree course.
Dr Helena Miller, director of degrees and teacher training, said “I am absolutely delighted that our students can now apply for government loans. This will enable more excellent candidates to access our degree programmes.”
Joanne Greenaway, LSJS chief executive said, “I am thrilled that our degrees are now registered for a student loan, which is something that was available to our teacher training students already. Given the financial challenges facing so many, it is great that this opportunity to get a degree and start a career in Jewish education is now accessible to everyone.”
LSJS is still accepting applicants on the BA (Hons) Jewish Education for a September 2024 start.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
