SLI Suba Pathum benefits over 300 students

The Sri Lanka Insurance (SLI) Life Suba Pathum National Scholarship Scheme has benefited over 300 students each year from the time it was launched by Sri Lanka Insurance (SLIC) in 2013.

The program will be held this year as well. Applications have already been called for the selection of beneficiaries for this year, which again would number over 300. The recipients would be rewarded at a ceremony scheduled to be held shortly.

The total value of the scholarships presented by SLIC annually is over Rs. 18 million with the beneficiaries being top achievers of the Year 5 Scholarship, Ordinary Level and Advanced Level examinations.

This is one of the most beneficial of such schemes in the industry, a spokesman for SLIC said.

To be eligible for the scholarship, parents/guardians of the applicants need not be SLIC policy holders, however, the benefits would be available for an extended period if they hold Life policies with the organisation.

This sums up to five times the total value of the scholarship in the case of Year 5 scholarship holders, twice for GCE O/L and thrice for A/L students.
