The objective of the scholarship programme is to provide
international students with an opportunity to conduct advance studies at
higher educational institutions in Korea, to promote international
exchanges in education and mutual friendship between countries.
Among many candidates, three students were selected by the Korean
government with the cooperation of the Higher Education Ministry last
month.
They will arrive in Korea today to study for a one-year language
course and a four-year undergraduate degree course in universities in
Korea.
Korean ambassador to Sri Lanka Jongmoon Choi invited the students to
the embassy to hand over the letter of invitation for the scholarship to
the students.
The ambassador said that the scholarship programme will contribute
towards the development of human resources in Sri Lanka. |
