Dear Applicant:
Legal Secretaries, Incorporated (“LSI”), a nonprofit, educational association was organized with the main goal of educating and training people in the legal field. San Diego Legal Secretaries Association (“SDLSA”), is a local chapter of LSI.
With the costs of education going up every day, financial aid in the form of a scholarship can assist a student in preparing for a career in this exciting field. LSI and SDLSA have established scholarship programs to assist with financial aid to those who desire a career in the legal field.
This year, SDLSA, is offering a Virginia Caperton Memorial Scholarship to students who want to enter the legal field (defined as: legal secretary, receptionist, legal assistant, paralegal, court reporter, and/or law office administrator). In order to be eligible, applicants must enroll in a college or business school in the Fall of 2011, offering a course of study in the legal field leading to a degree or certificate of completion upon graduation. This scholarship program is parallel to the Eula Mae Jett Scholarship offered by Legal Secretaries, Incorporated. One scholarship will be awarded by SDLSA. In addition, SDLSA will then choose one applicant from each of the three Plans to submit to LSI for the opportunity to win a $1,000 Eula Mae Jett Scholarship.
The deadline to submit the applications to me, at the above address, is February 28, 2010.
For further information about Legal Secretaries, Incorporated, visit www.lsi.org, or view the rest of our website.
Please contact me if you would like further information regarding the Scholarship Programs. In addition SDLSA is available to present workshops/seminars to your school or group in the topics of careers in the legal field and legal secretarial training.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Very Truly Yours,
San Diego Legal Secretaries Association
