Through our loan repayment assistance programs, Harvard Law School is committed to preserving freedom of career choice within the legal profession for its graduates.
The mission of LIPP is to enable HLS J.D. graduates to pursue a broad range of relatively lower income employment options while maintaining the ability to repay their student loans.
Harvard Law School graduates working in lower-paying public interest or private sector positions are eligible for loan repayment assistance through the two LRAP programs administered by the LIPP office. Graduates can choose either the Traditional LIPP program or the PSLF-Based Plan.
LIPP was the first law school program to reduce the loan repayment burden for graduates working in government, public sector, and academic jobs, or in law related jobs in the private sector, and remains one of the most comprehensive programs of its kind.
We encourage all students to become familiar with the LIPP policies as they begin to explore their career options. Please reach out to the LIPP staff to learn more about your LRAP options and your career goals.
