Brooklyn Law School has announced it will pay some unemployed graduates 15 percent of their tuition costs.

The program, called Bridge to Success, offers the payments to grads who haven’t found full-time jobs nine months after graduation, according to the New York Times and a press release.

The program takes effect with students entering this year. To qualify, grads must take—but need not pass—the bar exam. They must also show they searched for full-time work with the help of the school’s job placement resources.

Brooklyn Law School took another step to help law students last year when it lowered tuition by 15 percent. Other law schools that have cut tuition include the University of Iowa, Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, and Pace University in Manhattan, the Times says.
