Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)
Work in local nonprofit journalism, and Columbia Journalism School will help pay your loans.
Our pilot Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) — the first of its kind in the journalism industry — will help support recent CJS graduates who bring their talent and skills to nonprofit news media organizations. CJS may lend up to $50,000 over five years to help you make your loan payments, and then forgive that loan. Learn more about eligibility here.
