June 27, 2025

The National Law School of India University, Bengaluru, announces the ‘ARRA Scholarship’ for meritorious students with the support of Rosy Blue Foundation, commencing Academic Year 2025-26. The Foundation, which recently signed an MoU with the University, will award the ARRA (Arunkumar & Ramniklal Mehta) Scholarship, to recognise and financially support outstanding students with strong academic records.

About the Scholarship

Each year, the ARRA Scholarship will be awarded to two students enrolled in the BA LLB (Hons) programme at NLSIU. The scholarship will cover their tuition fee, accommodation, and maintenance costs.

The selection process will prioritise academic excellence, character, and commitment. While financial needs may be considered, it will not be the sole criterion. The selection will be made without consideration of the applicant’s gender, caste, race, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or social background.

This academic year, the University will welcome 310 students into the BA LLB (Hons) programme as part of its Inclusion and Expansion Plan 2021-25.

Mr. Russell Mehta, Director, Rosy Blue Foundation & Chairperson, ARRA Scholarship, said: “The ARRA Scholarship reflects our commitment to ensuring that financial constraints do not stand in the way of deserving students accessing quality education. By offering comprehensive financial support along with mentorship and a nurturing community, we are investing in the promise of India’s future – its young minds. This initiative is a tribute to the legacy of Ramniklalbhai and Arunkumarbhai, whom we proudly honour through this effort.”

Reflecting on this collaboration, NLSIU Registrar Prof. N S Nigam said: “We gratefully acknowledge the valuable contribution of the Rosy Blue Foundation to our scholarship funds. This scholarship will play a key role in not only motivating our students in their academic and professional goals, but also in supporting NLSIU’s mandate to impart a more inclusive education in the years ahead.”
