The Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) in Camden provides financial assistance to help defray law school debt obligations for Rutgers Law School graduates who have chosen to pursue public interest and public service careers.
Awards are made in the form of a loan and as such are not considred as taxable income to the recipient. The LRAP loan indebtedness is forgiven upon fullfillment of qualifying public interest employment, usually without adverse federal income tax consequences to the recipient as provided in applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue code. Students are encouraged to speak to their accountant for individual advice.
All graduates from the Class of 2004 and all succeeding classes are eligible to apply if the following criteria are met:
- submit an LRAP application and all required documents
- the graduate is employed in a law-related public interest position
- the graduate has an income below the salary cap set annually by the LRAP Advisory Committee
- the graduate's loans are in good standing
APPLICATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 15, 2023
