Part administrative assistant, part researcher, and part client liaison, paralegals are an invaluable part of the American legal system – which is one of the reasons you've decided to pursue the career yourself. But before you can begin proving yourself in the legal trenches of law offices, court rooms and corporate legal departments , you'll need to come prepared with the right education – and that's not something that comes cheap.
We value the work of today's paralegals and the education needed to get their foot in the door. To show our gratitude for aspiring paralegals like you, we are honored to offer the Pursuit of Excellence Scholarship to make your pursuit of an education a little more affordable.
