    What's the story

    Law is a highly coveted career option among youngsters in India, given the lucrative opportunities it offers.

    However, as the cost of education continues to rise, many might not be able to pursue law education due to financial constraints. However, there are a number of scholarships available that can help students overcome such obstacles.

    Check out these five scholarships for law students in India.

    Union Education Ministry's Department of Higher Education offers the Central Sector Scheme of Scholarships for College and University Students.

    Annually, 82,000 scholarships (41,000 each for boys and girls) are awarded for graduate/postgraduate studies in colleges/universities and professional courses, including law.

    Candidates with a family income below Rs. 8 lakh/annum are eligible. The scholarship amount is Rs. 10,000/year for graduation and Rs. 20,000/annum for post-graduation.

    The Minority Affairs Ministry also awards 60,000 Merit-cum-Means Scholarships every year for pursuing technical/professional courses, reportedly including law programs like LLB and LLM.

    Students from minority communities like Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, and Parsi are eligible. Their family income shouldn't exceed Rs. 2.5 lakh/annum.
