Education is costly in the United States, without any doubt. When it comes to law studies, it is imperative for students and their families to hold good financial resources so that no problem regarding funding education and expenses arises. In the United States, law education might cost you thousands of dollars. If you don’t come from a financially privileged background, you might find it hard to continue your learning journey at a reputed law school since there are many expenses involved in completing a law program. Women of WSAJ Bar Prep Scholarship will cover the cost of the Themis bar preparation course only. This scholarship will not support bar prep courses other than Themis.
