Loan Repayment Assistance Program

The deadline to participate in the 2022-2023 Gillis Long Loan Repayment Assistance Program has passed. 

Beginning in 2023, the Louisiana Bar Foundation will administer the Loan Repayment Assistance Program. The LBF is dedicated to making a career in civil legal aid more competitive with other legal fields. The Loan Repayment Assistance Program does just that by providing forgivable loans of up to $5,000 per year to attorneys working in a public interest position. The loan is disbursed quarterly and is forgiven after completion of 12 months employment at the legal aid provider. Learn more at raisingthebar.org.
