COLOMBO In an effort to support the education of Sri Lankan children,
President Ranil Wickremesinghe introduced the “Presidential Academic
Scholarship Program 2024/2025.” This special scholarship initiative,
launched through the President’s Fund, aims to provide financial
assistance to 100,000 students from Grade 01 to Grade 11 across all
10,126 schools in the country.
The program is designed to annually award scholarships to one hundred
thousand (100,000) students spanning from Grade 01 to Grade 11,
covering all 10,126 schools in Sri Lanka. A total allocation of Rs.
3600 million has been designated from the President’s Fund to sustain
this initiative.
Acknowledging the challenges posed by the current economic climate,
President Wickremesinghe hopes this program will ensure uninterrupted
education for deserving students, particularly those with limited
resources. By investing in the country’s future generation, the
initiative aims to nurture talented individuals and contribute to the
development of Sri Lanka’s human capital.
Further details regarding the selection criteria and this program will
be announced soon on the official Facebook page of the President’s
Fund: www.facebook.com/president.fund .
