Life insurance leader to reward another 160 bright young Sri Lankans this year with Rs 11 million in scholarships

Ceylinco Life has announced that it has launched the search for the next batch of 160 young Sri Lankans that will be rewarded with scholarships totaling more than Rs 11 million under the 21st edition of the company’s ‘Pranama Scholarships’ programme.

The Company said it is currently accepting applications for these scholarships under four categories from children of policyholders that have excelled in academics and extracurricular pursuits, and will continue to do so until applications close on 30th April 2022. The ‘Pranama’ Scholarships presentation is expected to take place in July this year. Ceylinco Life has amended the programme’s usual timelines to accommodate the delays in the conduct of national examinations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ceylinco Life’s ‘Pranama scholarships’ scheme has to date disbursed a total of Rs 167 million and benefitted 2,887 students. With the latest edition of the programme, the life insurance leader will take this total to Rs 178 million and the beneficiary numbers to 3,047.
