Student Liaison/Mentoring

MENTOR PROGRAM
Calling all students! If you’re interested in seeing what the Paralegal profession is like in the "war" room versus the classroom, please consider contacting a Board of Director member at our monthly meetings. A number of seasoned PPA member Paralegals are ready and willing to discuss their respective fields of law with you. This is a great “real world” opportunity to see which Paralegal field is best suited to your goals and personality! Why re-invent the wheel when you’re already busy? Take advantage of this great opportunity and increase your peer-to-peer Paralegal network. Remember, the best jobs aren't found in the newspaper or on-line: word-of-mouth candidates will be first in line every time.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR MEMBER STUDENTS
Students! If the high cost of furthering your education is getting you down, fear not! PPA has annually awarded a scholarship of $1,000 to a deserving paralegal student to help with these expenses! To be eligible, you must be a member of PPA; and remember, the cost of your student membership is only $25. We are currently revising the scholarship guidelines, so watch this space for more details. We anticipate awarding the next scholarship at our annual dinner.
