Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)
Capital University Law School recognizes the challenge to graduates
with large law school debt who wish to serve the public. As the cost of law
school continuously and significantly increases, the salaries of public interest
and public sector jobs remains the same. Recognizing our graduates' commitment
to public service, Capital University Law School created the loan repayment
assistance program (LRAP) to support those alumni. [more]
