GRANTING 100 UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS UNDER GOVERNMENT OF SRI LANKA PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIPSPROGRAM FOR FOREIGN
SUDNETS – 2014/15
Government of Sri Lanka Presidential Scholarships Program for Foreign Students implemented by the Ministry of Higher Education has been in operation for three years and provides 100 undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships annually to foreign students from identified countries. It is hoped that this would bring about stronger educational and cultural ties with friendly nations. This scholarship scheme offers international students a chance to enroll themselves in either undergraduate or postgraduate programs conducted by some state universities in Sri Lanka. We are sure that the scholarship winners will be exposed to an environment with academic excellence, culture of hospitality in Asian setting and enticing climatic conditions.
