Assistant District Attorneys, Assistant Public Defenders, Government, Nonprofit, Public Sector, and Private Assigned Counsel: Funding is Available to Help with your Law School Debt.
NC LEAF is committed to providing student loan repayment assistance to public interest attorneys with the least ability to repay their law school debt. Decisions will be made by our Board of Directors based on eligibility and available funding.
Thank you for your interest in the NC LEAF Loan Repayment Assistance Program and for the important work you do serving North Carolina communities.
As of October 2026, NC LEAF has indefinitely paused the acceptance of new recipients due to insufficient funding to support program expansion.
When funding becomes available and our Board of Directors authorizes the acceptance of new recipients, we will announce the reopening of the application process through our website and email communications.
