Often, the student who says “I can’t afford it” means they are reluctant to borrow the student loans necessary to attend your institution. LRAP is a safety-net that gives prospects confidence to borrow and enroll.

LRAPs provide students with this powerful promise: If income after graduation is modest, LRAPs will help them repay their federal student, private alternative and parent PLUS loans.
