Paula Bork Memorial Education Fund

Mission Statement

The Paula Bork Memorial Education Fund (PBMEF) was established to honor the memory of Paula Bork, by providing financial assistance to those who desire to pursue their quest for knowledge, through higher and or vocational education.

The PBMEF exists to provide financial assistance in the form of education loans to qualified applicants (members of the local Jewish community) who demonstrate strong academic performance and dedicated community service. The PBMEF exists to assist qualified candidates by lending funds to meet the financial obligations necessary to fund their education, which may help them achieve life goals that may be otherwise unobtainable, without resources from the PBMEF.

The underwriting and funds of the PBMEF are raised through the generosity of concerned individuals, corporations, and foundations sharing the common view that many of our local, national, and international problems can be solved by making people self-sufficient through higher education.
