GRANTING SCHOLARSHIPS UNDER GOVERNMENT OF SRI LANKA PRESIDENTIAL
SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAM FOR FOREIGN SUDNETS – 2016/17
Government of Sri Lanka Presidential Scholarships programme for Foreign Students
implemented by the Ministry of Higher Education and Highways has been in operation for
six years. That provides 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 undergraduate 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.
