Hispanic Lawyers Scholarship Fund of Illinois: Scholarship Opportunity
Hello Everyone, just spreading the word about opportunities in Chicago for !L scholarship awards for Hispanic students. Today more than ever, the costs of attending college and graduate school are high. But in my view, education is still well worth the investment. One way you can mitigate those costs is by by applying to scholarships like these. Ones that exists to support you, while you also support a great cause.
Here is the message I received about the award. Good luck to those who apply.
