The eligibility criteria established by the LBF Board of Directors, reflected in the guidelines, is as follows: public interest position; full-time; civil legal direct representation of clients; within the income requirement; working in the State of Louisiana. A. Licensure and Employment Are alums employed as federal, state, or local judicial clerks eligible?
Clerks do not provide direct legal representation in court matters and therefore are not eligible. Are alums employed as federal, state, or local prosecutors eligible? Prosecutors do not provide direct representation in the civil arena and therefore are not eligible.
Will consideration focus on alumni who graduated within the past five years to incentivize early career alums’ employment in public law? LBF’s Kendall Vick Fund is open to any applicant that meets the established criteria above. We believe the program is an incentive to pursue a career in public interest work and consider it a retention program for public interest work in the civil practice area.
As long as the applicant meets eligibility requirements, their application is reviewed. Will previous awardees be considered? Please refer to the answers above.
As per LBF loan repayment assistance guidelines, this funding may be received for a maximum of 10 years, at which time the recipient is eligible to apply for federal loan forgiveness. Does the graduation year matter, or is the program open to any alums employed in qualifying Louisiana public interest positions? The program is open to any applicant who meets eligibility requirement.
B. Income – Letter states, “Gross annual income may not exceed $80,000”. Does this mean the gross income amount before taxes may not exceed $80,000?
Yes, it is gross income. Does this mean the gross income cap of $80,000 includes salary plus interest and dividends, child support, rental income, etc.? Yes, please refer to the guidelines included in the letter and found on the LBF’s website.
