The Montana Justice Foundation is a non-profit organization which supports programs that promote access to justice in Montana. The Foundation's Loan Repayment Assistance Program was established in January 2006 as a statewide loan repayment assistance program for law school graduates employed in non-profit organizations dedicated to serving the legal needs of low-income individuals and families in Montana. This program is designed to support the recruitment and retention of qualified staff attorneys who have incurred significant debt to finance their law school educations so they can work in legal aid programs for the poor.
The program will provide a maximum of 5 years of benefits. Continued benefits are subject to the availability and allocation of future funding for this program by the Foundation. Participants enroll in the program for one-year increments, and may reapply annually, up to a maximum of five (5) years, subject to continued eligible employment, salary limitations and bar admission.
