David P Shapiro Law Student Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Law Office of David P Shapiro
How will you make a difference as a lawyer? With the right tools, a person can make a positive impact on the world. A law degree is one of those tools. An announcement has been made by the Law Office of David P. Shapiro that it will be offering a scholarship for law students in the amount of $1,000. The scholarship will be used to assist in the payment of tuition to law school for the selected applicant.
Mr. Shapiro recognizes that obtaining a law degree is an expensive process, which is why he and his law firm are offering one law student this scholarship to help (at least partly) defray the cost of attending law school.
