As a student finishing up studies, you will soon begin to interact with the government in myriad ways. From applying for a license to engage in your career to filing your taxes or complying with other regulatory entities, the government is an ever-present part of our lives as citizens.
We want students to explore the ways that government requirements and regulations can help and hinder them in the future. That’s why Bertolino LLP has initiated our Government Regulatory Impact Scholarship.
