The Central Illinois Paralegal Association (CIPA) offers students in a paralegal studies program the opportunity to be the recipient of a $500 scholarship. CIPA recently solicited essays from area paralegal students, reviewed the submissions, and named Illinois State University legal studies major Artdesha Williams the winner of this competitive award.
