PART III: HISPANIC SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), is considered the leading scholarship granting organization for Hispanic Americans. In its 27-year history, HSF has awarded more than 47,000 scholarships to students in the US, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.  The fund's Web site, www.hsf.net, is also a great resource of information.  We hope you consider including HSF in your scholarship search.
 

PART IV: LAW HELP GATEWAY

An Online Law School Preparation Course

TryLawSchool.com is an online law school preparation course designed to teach the learning skills necessary to succeed in an American law school by recreating the first semester of law school in a month-long course. Using a discrete topic from a first-year property course (e.g., landlord-tenant law), TryLawSchool.com’s instructors teach case briefing, legal analysis, course outlining and writing essay exam answers.  The course was designed by a Harvard Law School alumna and law professor with experience in teaching first-year law students and grading first-year students’ exams. Go to: www.TryLawSchool.com. Your contact here is: Terrie Robinson at IAspire@yahoo.com.
 

A Great Law School Guide

If you or someone you know is interested in law school, this is one guide you won't want to miss.  Ms. Mitchell is a graduate of HBCU Prairie View A&M University, the University of Iowa College of Law, and Harvard.
