Other Resources (Not Affiliated with DOJ or the ASLRP)

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF): The PSLF is designed to encourage students to enter and remain in relatively low-paying public service careers, including public interest/government law.  It offers tax-free, total forgiveness of certain qualifying federal loans after the individual makes 10 years’ worth of payments (to the right kind of federal loan) while working for the government or in a qualifying public service position. Both the ASLRP and PSLF are restricted to federal student loan debt; however, the PSLF is more restrictive and limits participants to some version of a federal direct loan.

DOJ attorneys participating in the ASLRP may participate in the PSLF. Any funds attributable to the ASLRP refunded when PSLF is approved must be repaid to the Department.
