Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)
Due to the economic downturn that has hit the North Carolina state budget, UNC School of Law will not be able to move forward with the Loan Repayment Assistance Program for the Spring 2009 cycle. We share your disappointment about this turn of events, and we remain committed to the program. If you have already applied, we will keep your application on file. We hope to be able to relaunch this program in the 2009-2010 fiscal year, and we will contact you when we have more news.
About the Program
The goals of the UNC School of Law's Loan Repayment Assistance Program are:
- To encourage students to enter permanent public service employment without regard to debt burden; and
- To assist graduates entering public service with law school loan debt
The program aims to supplement other available sources of loan repayment assistance so as to permit graduates to perform public service in North Carolina, the nation and the world, without being restricted or discouraged by law school debt.
Please contact Sylvia Novinsky, Assistant Dean for Public Service Programs, at lrap@unc.edu with any questions.
