2026 APPLICATION

Please Note

Qualifying Student Loan Repayment Status Reminder

Cardozo’s LRAP will only provide financial assistance to eligible graduates whose student loans (federal, institutional, and/or private) are in active repayment, which means, payments greater than $0 that are required each month/quarter. Student loans that are in deferment or forbearance, or have an Income Drive Repayment set at $0 per month, will not be considered.

If all of your student loans are in active repayment, they will all be considered for LRAP assitance.
If a portion of your student loans are in active repayment, and the remaining portion are in deferment or forbearance, or have an Income Drive Repayment set at $0 per month, only the student loans that are in active repayment will be considered for LRAP assitance.
If none of your student loans are in active repayment, you will not be eligible to receive LRAP assistance during the 2026 program cycle.

Please note - if you have federal student loans that were placed in an administrative forbearance by the Department of Education last year due to your enrollment in the SAVE repayment plan, in order to qualify for Cardozo’s LRAP, you will first need to officially change your repayment plan to a plan that places your loans into an active repayment status.

If you have any questions, please contact us: cardozolrap@yu.edu
