The University of Denver College of Law is pleased to announce that we have launched a Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) to benefit alumni who make a commitment to work in the public interest. Law school graduates can have upwards of $80,000 in law school debt, and public interest jobs often pay about one-half of the salary of private sector positions. Many graduates feel that they can not accept public interest positions, for fear that they will not be able to pay their debt. Often, even if graduates take public interest positions upon graduation, they leave the position after a few years, because they just cannot afford to continue at such a low salary.

LRAPs are meant to solve both problems. They enable students to accept and remain in public interest positions, by helping to pay law school debt. They help public interest organizations keep their employees, as the low salary they pay is offset by the loan forgiveness.

A committee of faculty, administrators, students and alumni will review the applications of eligible applicants, and make selection(s) of LRAP recipients.

The deadline for applications is April 18, 2008. Applications may be turned in to the Financial Management Office, Suite 115 of the Ricketson Law Building.
