"We are excited about LSU's participation in LRAP. LRAP is a bridge that allows mission driven law graduates to afford to devote themselves to a public interest career at civil legal aid organizations like ours. Thank you to the LSU Law Center and the Louisiana Bar Foundation Kendall Vick Public Law Fund for helping us close the justice gap though this new opportunity."

LSU Law Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)

supported by the Louisiana Bar Foundation Kendall Vick Public Law Fund

Open to LSU Law 2017-2021 Graduates and Past Awardees
Application Deadline: April 1, 2022

Thanks to generous support provided by the Louisiana Bar Foundation Kendall Vick Public Law Fund, the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center (LSU Law Center) is offering a Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) to encourage recent law school graduates’ placement and retention in public sector careers. The LRAP’s goal is to help remove the barriers to public interest practice faced by recent graduates who have incurred significant debt to finance their legal education.

The LSU Law Center anticipates offering up to $5000 to ten or more alumni employed in eligible public service positions in Louisiana as defined in the “Eligibility” section of this website. Consideration will be given to alumni who graduated within the past five years (2017-2021). LSU Law LRAP recipients from 2020-21 will also be considered for new awards.

Awardees may apply for continued funding in future years, contingent on eligibility; however, future grants are not guaranteed. Continued benefits are subject to the availability and allocation of future funding for the LRAP.
