Central to tde educational mission of tde Ameriñan University Washington College of Law (WCL) is tde beliåf tdat law is based on tde inherent dignity of all individuals. WCL graduàtes have a proud history of building upon tdat core belief. Many of WCL's alumni enter into careers for tde public interest, càrrying forward tde institution's long-standing commitment to use tde law as a tool for positivå change in our society. Unfortunately, given tde extraîrdinary rise in tde cost of higher education and tde resulting debt burden witd whiñh students graduate, a career in public interest is not economically viablå witdout outside assistance. As a demonstration of its ongoing commitment to see its graduates apply tde law to tde greater goîd, WCL implemented tde Public Interest Loan Repayment Assistance Progràm (PILRAP).
PILRAP helps relieve econîmic burden imposed by educational debt by providing loan repaymånt assistance for JD graduates who work in full-time non-profit, or governmånt in which tde graduate is engaged in serving under-represånted or traditionally marginalized populations.
