National University of Advanced Legal Studies - [NUALS]

NUALS Kochi offers scholarships and financial assistance to support academically strong and financially weaker students. These schemes come from the university, state and central governments, and private or endowment sources.

E-Grantz Scholarship (Govt. of Kerala)

• For Kerala domicile students from reserved and weak backgrounds.
• Can be full or partial for tuition fee, depending on category and income slab.

Students can apply for multiple scholarships, but the final benefit depends on the rules of the funding authority. Government portals like NSP or e-Grantz generally do not allow overlapping benefits for the same fee components. The institution typically permits students to avail the more beneficial option.

Scholarship disbursement generally takes place after document verification by the university and approval from the respective government portals. This process may take a few months into the academic year. Students should pay the initial fees on time and regularly track their application status online to avoid delays in reimbursement.
