Career Options Assistance Program (COAP)

$ 100,000 - $ 10,000,000   Multiple opportunities

While some lawyers who work for large firms may be able to shoulder the burden of educational debt with relative ease, private practice is not for everyone. Some students dream of jobs in smaller firms, nonprofit organizations, public interest, government service, or academia. Established in 1989 for students in public interest and related fields, COAP is one of the most distinctive, generous, and flexible loan forgiveness programs available. A gift of $100,000 will establish a COAP fund, while a gift $10 million will name the entire COAP loan forgiveness program and enable it to continue in perpetuity.
