The initiative aims to provide essential financial support to students facing economic hardships, ensuring they have equal opportunities for education and future success.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to submit their applications by March 20, 2024, to be considered for the scholarship. Application forms, along with detailed instructions and essential information, are readily available in Sinhala, Tamil, and English languages. These resources can be accessed through the official Facebook page of the President's Fund and the website www.presidentsfund.gov.lk.
To participate in this transformative opportunity, applicants must ensure that completed forms are submitted to their respective school principals before the stipulated deadline. This initiative stands as a testament to the government's commitment to fostering inclusive education and uplifting the socio-economic status of the nation's youth.
