I want to remind you that, in addition to any summer funding you’ve received, law students working at nonprofits and government organizations for the summer are eligible for a $1,212 Segal Education Award through Equal Justice Works’ AmeriCorps JD program. You can use those funds to reduce the amount you have to borrow for law school or to repay your loans after you graduate.
