“I am very grateful for this scholarship because it helps me a lot in the current situation in Sri Lanka. I used the scholarship to purchase books, stationery, and transportation for my second-year studies. I have kept aside a portion of the scholarship to help with other expenses. Thank you very much for helping me with this.”

“I want to express my gratitude for the financial support extended to me in this very difficult time. Everything is going well at the moment. The scholarship is a great support to continue my academics without depending on my parents during this challenging time. I hope this great effort will continue in the future as well to help other undergraduates who have financial difficulties. I also hope to help others in return when I complete my studies. I would like to thank you again for all that you are doing.”

“I am, following a B.Sc (Hons) computer science degree at the University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. I am so thankful to have been selected for the scholarship program. This scholarship helped me a lot in my educational activities. The cost of living in Sri Lanka has increased due to the current economic crisis. In such a situation, it costs me a lot of money to continue my studies at the university. This scholarship program assists my parents, who are unemployed and struggling to support the expenses of my brother, who is a school student and myself. We are thankful to your organisation in this regard.”

“I was happy to learn that I was a recipient of the academic SLGS scholarship program. This scholarship has enabled me to continue my academic work without disruptions and support my family, especially due to the extra-economic stress caused by the COVID situation. I am grateful to SLGS of the University of Melbourne for providing me with this opportunity to achieve my academic goals.”

“The SLGS scholarship has enabled me to continue my studies throughout the COVID pandemic when my family struggled financially to support my educational expenses. With the scholarship, I can continue to focus on my studies in the future and help my family along the way. I am appreciative of the generous support of SLGS of the University of Melbourne for the opportunity provided.”

“The SLGS scholarship really helped me to cover up all the expenses for my studies in the university. It was a great help to my parents too because they don’t want to worry about my expenses during my stay at the university. I was able to manage and spend the money very wisely and to run smoothly the month. Further, the SLGS Scholarship was really mental support for me and therefore I was able to fully engage myself in studies.”
