Student Summer Scholarships
CPIL administers the following summer funding opportunities for students through a unified application process during the beginning of the Spring semester:
Helen M. Cirese Fellowship

Pusateri Fellowship
Vincentian Summer Fellowships
Daniel P. Coman Memorial Endowed Scholarship
Public Interest Law Association (PILA) Summer Scholarships
Alumni Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)
DePaul Law’s Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) was designed to help public interest alumni who are committed to public interest jobs with salaries that are generally lower than those in the private sector. Student loan obligations can be especially burdensome for those pursuing nonprofit careers. LRAP eases these financial pressures, enabling more graduates to enter and remain in the public interest field.
LRAP is a loan forgiveness program funded by student fees and private donations. Awards are distributed as forgivable loans and must be used to repay law school educational debt. Recipients who meet all program requirements have their loans forgiven at the end of the loan term.
