Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)

Brooklyn Law School was one of the first law schools to enable its graduates to pursue a public interest career by assisting with the burden of their educational debt. The Brooklyn Law School Loan Repayment Assistance Program, developed in 1990, has provided more than $2.4 million in loan forgiveness to support graduates who choose to work in public interest organizations.

Additionally, graduates who continue to work in public service for a period of ten years, who make monthly payments on a consolidated loan with the federal Direct Loan Program, will benefit from the new College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 (CCRAA) and can have their loans forgiven.
