## Who can apply

- State governments
- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

Applicants are limited to state and U.S. territory government agencies designated by their governor (or the mayor of the District of Columbia) to administer the JRJ Grant Program. The states, territories, and the District of Columbia will make loan payments directly to the institutions holding loans on behalf of eligible beneficiaries.

## What the grant funds

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, BJA seeks to make funding available to state agencies designated by the governor to improve the retention of local, state, and federal public defenders and local and state prosecutors ("beneficiaries"). States receiving funding administer statewide JRJ programs by soliciting applications from eligible beneficiaries at the state level. Beneficiaries selected must commit to an additional 3 years of qualifying service in exchange for partial loan repayment directly to the beneficiary's loan service provider.
