The Arizona Foundation for Legal Services & Education Loan Repayment Program was created in 1990 to establish a statewide loan assistance program for law school graduates employed in programs dedicated to serving the civil legal needs of the poor. The need for such a program is underscored by the low salaries that are paid to legal aid attorneys. The program is designed to supplement these salaries by allowing qualified applicants to obtain forgivable loans from the Foundation to assist them in paying their Law School loans while employed by such organizations. The goal of the program is to help attorneys enter and remain in public service.

The application process for fiscal year 2008 has been closed. The 2009 application will be available online in September of 2008.
