Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)

What is LRAP?

Valpo supports your future success with the Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP), offered in partnership with Ardeo. We’re confident that a Valpo degree will set you on a path to a successful and financially stable career, and with LRAP, we aim to make a Valpo education attainable and reduce the financial risks for you and your family. Simply put, if your income is less than $53,000 annually after you graduate, LRAP can assist with repaying your federal student loans, including Parent PLUS loans.

How Does LRAP Work?

This program reflects our commitment to your future. We believe that finances shouldn’t stand in the way of choosing Valpo or following your passions.

With LRAP, you can pursue your dreams without the fear of overwhelming debt.
