The Inn offers Pupillage Grants to assist pupils during their pupillage year. These grants are means tested and are only available for Lincoln’s Inn Pupils.
Eligibility
Pupillage Grants are only available to members of Lincoln’s Inn.
Grants are only available to those who have a combined chambers award/guaranteed earnings of under £25,000 for the year.
Pupils who feel they have exceptional circumstances may also apply but should be aware that those with significant resources are unlikely to receive a grant.
How to apply
To apply for a Pupillage Grant, pupils will need to submit an online application through the Inn’s Scholarships Application Portal using the link at the bottom of this page.
You will need to provide confirmation of your Pupillage from your chambers/employer as part of your application.
There are no interviews for Pupillage Grants.
The value of each grant is calculated by a financial means test.
If you have any questions please visit our FAQ page. If you can’t find the answer you are looking for, please contact the Scholarships Coordinator, Siân Carpenter below.
When to apply
Future pupils should apply up to 3 months before they are due to commence pupillage. Current pupils who have not previously received a Pupillage Grant/Award can apply at any time during their pupillage.
