The St. John’s University School of Law Loan Repayment
Assistance Program (LRAP) provides financial assistance to
qualified Law School graduates from the Class of 2003 on who work
in public interest or government positions.Through LRAP, the Law
School aims to:
- Enable graduates to select their employment without being
precluded from public interest or public service options because of
financial impossibility.
- Encourage St. John’s law graduates to choose public interest
and public service careers.
Awards are made in the form of a loan of up to $2,000 per
participant, per year, for up to three years, to assist in the
repayment of the participant’s law school educational loans. The
loans awarded under LRAP will be forgiven one year from the date of
issuance, provided that the graduate has remained in qualified
employment for that year. Graduates have 3.5 years from the date of
their graduation, or completion of a judicial clerkship, in which
to apply for LRAP.
