The John R. Roach Fellows receive a substantial loan from the School of Law to be applied toward their tuition costs with the understanding that they will undertake public service upon graduation. If a fellow works in a public service job for three years after graduation from law school, the fellowship loan is forgiven in its entirety.

The Roach Fellowships fall under the umbrella of the School of Law Loan Repayment Assistance Program and follow the same policies on the issue of qualifying employment.

For information on Qualifying Employment, please refer to policy IV-4.B under the School of Law Policies on Loan Repayment Assistance.
