As usual, your generous donations have allowed us to support 94 bright Sri Lankan students facing severe financial difficulties during the 2023-2025 scholarship cycle.
Your contributions made huge differences not only in the lives of students but also in the lives of their families.
Donors like you are our strength and without you SLCSF can not exist and cannot continue to help those very deserving students at this very difficult economic period in Sri Lanka.
Brief note on who we are
SLCSF is run by unpaid volunteers and every penny you donate goes to charitable activities unlike in other charitable organizations where a significant chunk of donations goes to pay staff salaries etc.(see our expenses)
In selecting applicants, we advertise countrywide and select most deserving applicants based on their academic performance, per person family income, special situations such as parents being sick or had passed away etc. Those are the only criteria we consider in awarding a scholarship.
Since 1998 we have awarded over 2,900 scholarships.
We are delighted to let you know that among our past scholars are Doctors, Educators, Engineers, Executives, Lawyers, Nurses and in other occupations making great contributions to society. Without your help this would not have been achieved.
Our mission is to advance education by providing scholarships to financially disadvantaged students in Sri Lanka who demonstrate academic excellence.
