FULL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION HERE 

The Vermont Bar Association (“VBA”) promotes the highest standards of skill, ethics, and professionalism within an inclusive legal profession; fosters understanding and respect for the rule of law; supports equal access to a fair and effective system of justice; and provides valuable resources to its members. The VBA Loan Repayment Assistance Program (“LRAP”) provides loan assistance for licensed attorney members of the Vermont Bar Association.  The program is designed to assist attorneys burdened by student loan debt so they can continue to work in Vermont serving Vermonters in underserved geographic and subject areas.

The VBA-LRAP provides assistance to applicants who might otherwise be precluded or overly burdened from practicing in Vermont because of salaries that do not support their student loan burden.
