$6,000 Goal

If you think what’s going on with federal student loans right now is confusing, frustrating, or otherwise awful, imagine what it’s like for legal aid attorneys.

 

Right now, we have legal aid attorneys in our program:

  • With federal student loan debt as high as $197,000
  • With additional private student loan debt as high as $76,000
  • With salaries as low as $45,000
  • With children (sometimes as the only parent)
  • With the skills and dedication to serve low-income Minnesotans in securing essential needs like food, shelter, and safety.

 

Despite the ever-changing student loan landscape, Loan Repayment Assistance Program of Minnesota has been here every year since 1991 for attorneys working in legal aid.

 

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you--In 2020, LRAP Minnesota distributed over $128,000 in TAX-FREE student loan repayment assistance to nearly 50 attorneys serving 10,000 low-income Minnesotans. 


The need for student loan help has continued to grow. We hope to offer even more assistance when loan repayments start again in 2023.

 

All Give to the Max Day donations are DOUBLED up to $3,000. We thank you for your support today, and every day.  Thank you for helping expand legal aid throughout the state.
