[The following
announcement is posted on behalf of NUJS, Kolkata]
In light of the encouraging response from young lawyers and law students when the first batch of the diploma course on Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws was started last July, NUJS has announced five scholarships for economically backward law students for the second batch of the course.
The course aims to bridge the gap between academia and
practice of law, and has a very diverse composition ranging from students
enrolled in various full-time courses, entrepreneurs and even senior managers
working in a decision making capacity in various organizations. Keeping in view
the increased costs of higher education and the fact that many executive
programmes and vocational courses are extremely expensive, it was felt
necessary to provide support on a need basis to deserving candidates, so that
those in low income groups are not excluded from accessing the course.

Sir, I have a question. I tried to find out how to apply for scholarship but could not get through. If you guide me on this, I will be thankful.
