The Law School has recently enhanced its Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) to meet the growing needs of future graduates. It's called LRAP Plus, because a great program is now even better.

Please Note: LRAP Plus is for the Class of 2019 forward. Our prior LRAP is for the Class of 2018 and earlier. (The Classes of 2019-21 may choose either one.)

The LRAP Application for 2020 is currently available for Law School graduates.

The LRAP Application for 2021 will be available on September 4, 2020.

2. Our LRAP is for graduates committed to public service.

NYU Law’s far-reaching program comprises both an income-driven plan, which leverages the power of the federal government's Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLFP), and a traditional 10-year plan similar to other law schools. Between them, they cover a wide range of employment, including full-time jobs in federal, tribal, state, and local government and nonprofit organizations, as well as judicial clerkships, jobs in legal academia, some self-employment, and for-profit organizations serving the public interest.

If you stay with our income-driven plan for 10 years until completion, your loans can be fully forgiven with the lowest overall out-of-pocket expenses possible. (And, you may pay nothing toward your loans each month, even as you advance in your career.)
