Paralegals are supported by national and regional organizations. The premier professional organization for paralegals is the National Federation of Paralegal Associations NFPA. They sponsor the Thompson-west Scholarship. In order to apply for the scholarship student must be members of the NFPA. Scholarships have been up to $3.500. A student must demonstrate academic talent and commitment to the field to obtain a scholarship. Colleges and universities that provide paralegal training offer scholarships too. Another type of scholarship is the one offered by law firms, this scholarship range between $1.000 and $5.000. Applicants to these scholarships are given to those with financial needs for the scholarships and that have great interest in the field.
