Eula Mae Jett Scholarship — High School Senior Category
Offered by Legal Professionals, Incorporated
About this scholarship
Legal Professionals, Incorporated offers the high-school category of its Eula Mae Jett Scholarship to California seniors preparing for a legal-support or court-administration career. This is not a law-school scholarship. Eligible programs can prepare students to become legal secretaries, paralegals or legal assistants, court reporters, law-office administrators, court clerks, or related legal professionals. The senior must complete high school by the end of June 2027 and enroll in the fall in a college, business school, or approved online program lasting at least six months. LPI awards $2,000 to the first-place applicant and $1,000 to the second-place applicant in this category. The packet requires a biographical letter, one recommendation from a nonrelative, an unofficial transcript, and the official checklist. Applicants normally submit through a participating local LPI association by that association's earlier deadline; only students without a local association submit directly to LPI. The association-forwarding deadline is April 1, 2027 at 11:59 p.m., so students should identify their local association well in advance.
