Loan Repayment Assistance Program
Lewis and Clark Law School's Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) helps graduates who take low paying public interest jobs cover their law school student loan payments. Assistance is provided to qualified graduates through forgivable loans that are canceled after one year of public interest work.

Planning for 2009
April 4, 2008 - The LRAP is beginning its planning for the 2009 LRAP loan year. Work is being done to determine how to use the additional funds for the LRAP student fee. At a minimum, we hope to introduce a significantly higher income cap.
Check back for updates later in the year. Program descriptions and applications for the 2009 funding year will be available in the late fall.
Students Vote to Continue Fee to Support LRAP
April 4, 2008 - Lewis and Clark Law students recently voted to recommend that the $25 per semester student fee in support of the LRAP continue. The fee which had initially been recommended by a landslide student vote in the spring of 2006 was first assessed during the 2007-2008 school year.
