National Federation of Paralegal Associations annual scholarships for you!

NFPA is now accepting applications for our 2017 NFPA/Thomson Reuters Scholarships.  All completed applications must be post-marked by July 1 in order to be considered.

There are two scholarships:  first place scholarship is $3000 and second place scholarship is $2000.  They will be awarded at the NFPA Annual Convention in New Orleans in October.  Winners will be announced by September 15.  This has always been a great way for students to earn scholarship money for their paralegal education!  Those applying do not need to be a member of NFPA.  Please remind students to follow the instructions for the deadline and documents required for the application packet, along with the essay, to ensure their application is considered.
