Additional Law School Aid Programs

The College Work-Study Employment Program
The College Work-Study Employment Program enables students to earn money through employment within the University. Law students often work in the Law Library or serve as research assistants to law professors. The federal government subsidizes 60 percent of all Work-Study wages.

Student Funded Fellowships (SFF)
Student Funded Fellowships (SFF) provide funds for some first- and second-year students who wish to work at summer public interest and public service jobs for little or no pay. SFF, Law School, and summer Work-Study funds support this program.

Debt Management/Loan Forgiveness Program
The Debt Management/Loan Forgiveness Program at the Law School is the most progressive in the country. It provides graduates with maximum flexibility to choose jobs from any law-related area (excluding judicial clerkships) including modest-paying public interest positions, while still maintaining a reasonable lifestyle and remaining current on outstanding loan obligations.

Graduates whose combination of income and debt make them eligible receive assistance in meeting their loan obligations incurred during Law School and annually earn forgiveness of Law School loans. Consult the Financial Aid Office or visit the debt management FAQ for more details.
