2017 Conference Scholarships for Pre-Law Advisors
PCAPLA will provide a limited number of $600 scholarships to pre-law advisors who, without assistance, would not be able to attend the June 7 – 10, 2017 Conference. This covers the cost of the registration ($275), the first night at the conference hotel, and travel costs. If you apply for a PCAPLA scholarship, please do not register for the conference until you receive a decision about your scholarship application. Scholarships are being awarded on a rolling basis. While the majority of scholarships will go to PCAPLA members, there will be scholarships for members of other APLAs.
PCAPLA scholarships may be used to cover some of the following expenses:
Potential scholarship recipients do not need to be current PCAPLA member in order to apply. However, scholarship recipients are required to pay the $50 PCAPLA yearly membership fee in order to receive the grant (You would do this after being notified you were awarded a scholarship). Pre-law advisors may join more than one APLA including APLAs outside of their region.
Selection Criteria – Ranked in order of significance with Criterion 1 being the highest priority.
