The Loan Repayment Assistance Program

Program Overview

NYU School of Law encourages its graduates to pursue careers in public service. The Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) is one program designed to assist J.D. graduates who choose careers in the public service or other low paying fields of law. LRAP provides our graduates with greater flexibility in career choice by easing the burden of debt repayment obligations. Graduates who choose careers in public service or with not-for-profit organizations following graduation will, provided that their qualifying income is below the level provided in the published qualifying income scale, have their debt burden paid in full or part by NYU.

NYU introduced the LRAP program in 1984. Our commitment to assisting our graduates in pursuing public interest employment remains an important aspect of our mission to produce caring and compassionate future leaders and scholars.
