Program
to groom future leaders
Seventy three young Sri Lankans, aged 10 to 21, became the first recipients of Ceylinco Pranama scholarships recently, when Ceylinco Life conducted the inaugural presentation ceremony of its program to groom future leaders. The scholarship winners were picked from over 2,800 applicants from 22 districts, and represented the four categories of scholarships recognising performances at the Year 5 government scholarship examination, the GCE Ordinary Level, the GCE Advanced Level and achievements at national level in art, drama, cultural activities, inventions and sports. Each Pranama scholarship winner was presented with a medal, certificate, and passbook entitling the recipient to draw his or her respective bursary, and a Ceylinco Pranama gift pack. The first batch of Pranama scholarship winners who received their scholarships at the ceremony comprised 22 students who sat the Year 5 scholarship examination in 2001, 22 GCE (O/L) students, 20 GCE (A/L) students who sat for the year 2000 examinations and nine National merit award winners for 2001. The merit award winners were selected for achievements in sports, inventions, art, drama and cultural activities. Ceylinco Pranama scholarships are to be awarded annually to applicants drawn from Ceylinco Life's Policyholders across the country. The program is implemented through Ceylinco Life's network of 72 branches with the assistance of the Examinations Department, which certifies the examination results of applicants. The scheme is funded by an initial allocation of Rs. 16 million from Ceylinco Life. |
