How it works
1. Enroll in the program when you receive your official offer from LRAP. Even if you haven’t decided yet if you’ll attend SPU, you can still accept your LRAP offer! Accepting admission to Seattle Pacific is a different process, and enrolling in LRAP is not an obligation to attend SPU.
2. Enroll in and graduate from Seattle Pacific University.
3. After graduation, work at least an average of 30 hours per week with an income of $50,000 or less per year.*
4. If you borrowed, begin repaying your federal, private alternative, or parents PLUS loans with help from LRAP (up to $70,000 in total loans borrowed, plus interest).
*Applies to students who begin at SPU in fall 2022
“SPU’s Loan Repayment Assistance Program gives me peace of mind. This relieves much of the stress that I face when I look to my future, so my focus can be on learning and being the best person I can be.”
— Natasha Koval, junior at Seattle Pacific University
