2018 Conference Scholarships for Pre-Law Advisors
PCAPLA will provide up to $390 to a limited number of pre-law advisors who, without assistance, would not be able to attend the June 6 – 9, 2018 Conference. A scholarship will cover the cost of the conference and your first night at the conference hotel. 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.
Please note that advisors from HACU, HBCU and TCU institutions may be eligible for an LSAC scholarship. Please check with Isabelle Ramos at LSAC ([email protected] or 215.968.1161) to see if you are eligible for the LSAC scholarship. Also, please note they have different application deadlines, which are available through their site. LSAC scholarships cover conference registration, housing and travel expenses (with the exception of airport parking). The only real cost not covered is your $50 PCAPLA membership fee.
PCAPLA scholarships may be used to cover some of the following expenses:
1. Conference registration fee $250 if registered by April 30, the early deadline.
2. Overnight accommodations in the conference hotel. The Four Points by Sheraton at the Los Angeles International Airport nightly rate of $120 comes in at $138.83 per night including taxes. (or lodging of comparable cost if the conference hotel is not available because it has been sold
out) or 3. Funding towards transportation costs.
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 # 1 being the highest priority.
To apply for a PCAPLA scholarship, please complete this form. The deadline is April 30, 2018.
Scholarship decisions will be made by the PCAPLA Scholarship Committee. Notifications will be made on a rolling basis. If you have any questions about the scholarship application process, please contact Br. Glenn Bolton, FSC, Scholarship Committee Chair at [email protected].
