Make a Donation to the LRAP

The LRAP is supported through a combination of funds from Lewis & Clark Law School's operating budget, a student fee, restricted annual gifts, interest from a quasi-endowment established by the Lewis and Clark Law School Faculty during the 2006-2007 school year, and interest from endowed gifts.

As law school tuition costs and living expenses continue to grow, the LRAP requires a growing source of funds to continue the same level of support to graduates. Please consider making a donation and specifying that you would like your donation to go to the Loan Repayment Assistance Program or the LRAP Endowment.

Why Give to the LRAP?

Each year between 7 and 14 percent of Lewis & Clark Law School's graduates enter public interest careers as legal aid lawyers, public defenders, lawyers working in non-profit organizations, and similar jobs. Many graduate with incredibly large law school debt that public interest salaries cannot support. Some have families to support as well.

Without LRAP assistance, many graduates would be forced to take work outside of the public interest sector. This in turn has an impact on public interest employers making it harder to recruit lawyers to work on behalf of the neediest populations.

LRAP assistance is often required to make it possible for our graduates to do public interest work. Supporting the LRAP is supporting the important work that our graduates do.
