Announcement from National Federation of Paralegal Associations, Inc. - 2010 Thomson-Reuters Scholarship Topic

NFPA offers two scholarships annually, sponsored by Thomson-Reuters, in the amounts of $3,000 and $2,000. The scholarships are available to students currently enrolled in a paralegal program.

The subject of this year's essay is:

Pro bono providers, such as lawyers/bar associations in many states do not include paralegals and/or paralegal students in pro bono projects. Although these providers do solicit lawyers to participate, the request does not include non-lawyers. How would you encourage pro bono providers to utilize paralegals and paralegal students to assist in providing pro bono services to those in need?

Further information on the scholarship program is available at www.paralegals.org.

Applicants are not required to be members of NFPA or its member organizations, although NFPA encourages membership for all paralegals and those interested in the profession.
