The Prathiba M. Singh Scholarship has been instituted, under the family Trust, with
the University of Cambridge for LL.M. aspirants from India.
Background of the Trust
The Prathiba M. Singh Cambridge LL.M. Scholarship was set up as an initiative of the Sardar Manmohan Singh Charitable Trust named after Mr. Maninder Singh’s father. It is with a view to continue his legacy of always helping ones in need that the Trust has been formed in his name by his family. The purpose of this Scholarship is not only to encourage meritorious students to study at the University of Cambridge, but more so to enable them to study when a scholarship is the only means of completing their Masters in Law. One of the factors considered for award of the scholarship is the candidate’s inclination to return to India and contribute in law, academics, policy etc.
About Prathiba M. Singh
Currently a sitting Judge of the Delhi High Court, Justice Prathiba M. Singh has been a leading contributor in the field of intellectual property in India as a lawyer and a judge. She completed her LL.M. from the University of Cambridge and is now the first Indian judge to be elected as an Honorary Fellow of Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge. The vision behind the scholarship is encapsulated in the words of Justice Singh - "If I had not received the ODAAAS Scholarship in 1991-92, I would not have made it to Cambridge. The scholarship is what changed the course of my life. I just hope scholars who get the scholarship come back to India and support such activities in future."
