Schols for undergrads

The Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan has volunteered to offer 20 scholarships to university students following courses in management and finance, management studies and commerce subjects.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the University Grants Commission and Mitsubishi Corporation in the presence of the Higher Education Minister Prof. Wiswa Warnapala at the Ministry.

Students entitled for these scholarships will get Rs. 4,000 (each) monthly and it will be renewed on their individual performance and dedication.

Students who receive Mahapola, Bursary or any other scholarship are not eligible for this benefit.

Prof. Warnapala said even stakeholders of the private sector now recognise the progressive change taking place in the higher education sector. This example of a leading Japanese Company should be followed by others, he said.
