Loan Repayment Assistance Program
LSC provides a limited number of forgivable loans to attorneys employed by LSC grantee organizations to help repay law school debt.
Overview
Since 2006, the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) has supported attorneys employed full-time by LSC-funded legal services programs (LSC grantees) in repaying student loan debt incurred for undergraduate, graduate, and legal education. The Herbert S. Garten Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) remains a key tool for LSC grantees to recruit and retain talented attorneys committed to public service.
