In the fall of 2006, the Board of Trustees endorsed an effort to build the endowment by raising gifts for student scholarships and the Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP). These established funds are among the responses to that effort.
LRAP is available for J.D. graduates who are practicing law full-time in a qualified public interest job and are making less than $70,000/year. Public interest is defined as: Jobs with federal, state or local governments, qualified not–for–profits, including legal services programs, as well as legal aid, prosecutors and public defender offices. Half–time or part–time employment may be covered on a pro–rata basis.
The University of New Hampshire School of Law and the Rudman Center are committed to ensuring that the Loan Repayment Assistance Fund remains a reliable resource for graduates who choose careers serving the public interest. UNH Franklin Pierce contributes to the fund annually andactively seeks donations for the program.
The Award Year 2026-2027 deadline is August 15, 2026.
