2019 MPA PACE® and PCCE™ Scholarships

Applications Now Open!

Have you thought about taking either the PACE® or PCCE® exam, but thought to yourself, I don’t have the time nor the funds to invest in a certification exam? The MPA has a solution for you and welcomes you to an exciting opportunity to start down the road…to certification.

The Minnesota Paralegal Association would like to help a few motivated members in 2019 by offering a scholarship for both the PACE® exam and PCCE® exam!

The deadline for your application for each exam will be October 1, 2019. Please e-mail your application to the 2019 Certification Ambassadors (Kristy Fisher, RP® and Tina M. Johnson, RP®) at certification@mnparalegals.org, with a copy to the MPA office (info@mnparalegals.org). Prizes will be awarded at the 2019 Fall Gathering on October 28th.

For the PACE® Exam, the scholarship will include: 1) the PACE® Study Manual ($125.00 plus shipping and handling); and 2) the PACE® Application Fee* (submitted with application to the NFPA - $350).

In the event that the applicant already has the PACE® Study Manual, the scholarship will cover the cost of the online practice exam ($50).

To be eligible for the PACE® Scholarship, you must:

1) Be a current Voting Member (including Greater Minnesota Voting Members);

2) Maintain MPA Voting Member status in 2020;

3) Take the exam by October 1, 2020; and

4) Meet the education/experience requirements by June 1, 2020.
