Law school graduates often enter professional
life with a substantial burden of student debt.
This burden is felt most keenly by young lawyers
committed to working in public interest
employment settings in which the opportunities
are competitive and the work challenging and
rewarding, but where the compensation is often
lower than that offered in other legal
positions. Seton Hall's Public Interest Loan
Repayment Assistance Program bridges the
financial gap for these graduates. Through a
combination of zero-interest loans and outright
grants, the program assures that educational debt
does not stand in the way of fulfilling a
desire for a public interest career. Students
and recent graduates may apply to the program
if they have accepted qualifying public
interest employment. The amount of support is
calibrated by reference to the applicant's debt
burden and public interest salary. The Public
Interest Loan Repayment Assistance Program
reflects Seton Hall's commitment to stand
behind the career goals of its graduates -
and its belief that the legal profession
serves the needs of society.
