From Heather Jarvis, Senior Program Manager, Equal Justice Works:<\/p>\n
\u00a0I write to give you an important and time sensitive<\/span> update<\/strong> about what began as the \u201cHarkin bill,\u201d became authorized by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, and is now entitled the Civil Legal Assistance Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program (CLAAP).<\/p>\n \u00a0Five million dollars is now available for distribution to qualified civil legal assistance attorneys with federal student loan debt.<\/strong>\u00a0 The Department of Education will commit these funds to eligible civil legal assistance attorneys on a first-come, first-served basis<\/strong>.\u00a0 Applications are expected to be due August 16, 2010. \u00a0The date that applications will be available is unknown, but should be soon. \u00a0I will let you know as soon as the application period opens, and those who wish to apply should complete the application as soon as it is available because funds are unlikely to cover all applicants.<\/p>\n \u00a0As usual, the program includes some complexity.\u00a0 I have prepared and posted a comprehensive CLAAP webpage<\/a>, <\/strong>and have scheduled two webinars to help civil legal assistance attorneys interested in the program.\u00a0 I wish I could counsel each attorney individually, but unfortunately I cannot.\u00a0 Everything we know about the program is on that webpage, and I expect you\u2019ll find the answers you need there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From Heather Jarvis, Senior Program Manager, Equal Justice Works: \u00a0I write to give you an important and time sensitive update about what began as the \u201cHarkin bill,\u201d became authorized by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, and is now entitled the Civil Legal Assistance Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program (CLAAP). \u00a0Five million dollars is … Continue reading “Great Student Loan Repayment News for Civil Legal Assistance Attorneys”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":951,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,117,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-career-planning","category-employment-opportunities","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/951"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2979"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2979\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2981,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2979\/revisions\/2981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
