Penn Trafford High School - Class of 2015
Paralegal Studies Major
 
"I am currently working full time at the Westmoreland County Courthouse and am going to school part time for paralegal studies. During this time, I am paying for this degree partially with student loans and partially out of pocket, which can get expensive very quickly when all of life’s bills are considered. This scholarship helps lighten the load that comes with paying for school to further my education, and for that I am very grateful."
