In certain circumstances, all or a portion of a borrower’s federal student loans may be forgiven under the federal government’s loan forgiveness programs. Please review the Department of Education website for more information on federal loan forgiveness programs.
Tufts University and The Fletcher School are pleased to offer the Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) to Tufts alumni. Each year the LRAP Program offers financial awards to Tufts graduates who have educational loans through Tufts and are employed full time by a public sector or nonprofit organization. The purpose of the LRAP Program is to encourage and enable Tufts graduates to pursue careers in public service by reducing the extent to which their educational debt is a barrier to working in comparatively low-salaried jobs in the nonprofit and public sectors. LRAP should not be confused with loan forgiveness, as award amounts are made to assist in the repayment of a portion of the award recipient’s annual loan payments.
