exciting loan repayment assistance news from Equal Justice Works: Greetings, I am glad to inform you that the John R. Justice
Student Loan Repayment Program (JRJ) will provide 10 million dollars in loan
repayment assistance to state and federal public defenders and state
prosecutors who agree to remain employed as public defenders and prosecutors
for at least three years. JRJ will be administered by Governor-designated
state agencies that must register and apply
by 8:00 p.m. eastern time on July 13, 2010. Funds
will be available to states based on the total population of each state
with a minimum base allocation of $100,000. Please work to ensure that your
governor designates
a state agency in advance of the deadline. I have posted a JRJ webpage which will be updated as
information becomes available and
have scheduled two
webinars to help prosecutors and defenders interested in the
program. Heather Jarvis Senior Program Manager Equal Justice Works Sarah Hilton |
