PCAPLA will provide up to $500 to a limited number of pre-law advisors who, without
assistance, would not be able to attend the June 5 – 7, 2019 Conference. A scholarship will cover
the cost of the conference (minus the $50 PCAPLA membership fee) 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 (HSI Institutions), HBCU and TCU institutions may be
eligible for an LSAC scholarship. Please check with Patti Shaul at LSAC (pshaul@LSAC.org or

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:
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 (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.
Scholarship decisions will be made by the PCAPLA Scholarship Committee. Notifications will
be made on a rolling basis. Please contact Br. Glenn Bolton, FSC, Scholarship Committee Chair
