Section 5: Personal Statement
Please make a case for your inclusion in LRAP. Every applicant must attach a personal
statement with an explanation of circumstances that are not addressed by this application,
or that require further clarification. For example, explain whether you qualify for other
types of loan repayment assistance and whether you receive that assistance (or why you do
not). Or if you are about to start making loan payments but have not done so to date,
explain and provide proof of the agreement you have reached with your lender(s). Or
perhaps you have financial obligations or hardships not addressed in the standard format
of this application—use this opportunity to explain. If you are married and are maintaining
separate finances, use this opportunity to explain the financial agreement you have reached
with your spouse (reference any attached marital agreement, if included in your
application). And if you are working as a volunteer at a qualifying employer AND making
student loan payments, please explain the source of income of the loan payments and
whether you have applied for income-based repayment or deferral, why or why not, and
the result of any such application. Also, if you are not working full time, or if you are not
working full time at a job requiring a law license or that is “JD advantage,” please address
your reasons for not doing so.
