DRA AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS

The Deposition Reporters Association has established a scholarship program to award financial assistance to deserving reporting students throughout California. Scholarships will be awarded yearly, based on the applicants' grades, financial need, participation in reporting activities and organizations, letters of recommendation, essays, and interviews conducted by the DRA Scholarship Committee.
