2015 LRAP Applications Due April 15
The OSB Loan Repayment Assistance Program uses forgivable loans to help lawyers working in public service pay their student debt. The program offers loans in any amount up to $7,500. Participants selected will receive the forgivable loans for three years, as long as they stay in qualifying employment.
Many attorneys in public service face crushing debt, coupled with meager salaries. The program was created in 2006 to help repay the students loans of attorneys who have dedicated their careers to public service.
