Education Grant Schme

The grant is intended to supplement the needs of the students such as the purchase of books, shoes and uniforms.  These amounts are kept under review.

The students selected have to go through a vetting process so that we are confident that they are eligible for a grant. Recommendations are sought from the child’s teachers for educational ability and the administrative officer in the area to verify the financial status.  The application is then reviewed and approved by our local coordinators in Sri Lanka. 

For university students proof of GCE AL results and a letter from the University admissions office is needed as well as proof of family income.  Currently we are supporting 3 medical students, I Engineering student, 1 in art, 1 in NDT and 1 in Tourism Management. 

The Education committee of the charity in the UK keep a database of the children and their progress sharing the children’s achievements with the donors. 

The Sri Lankan coordinators and the UK education committee all work on a voluntary basis. Any income received is maximised and used to sponsor more children.
