Allianz Lanka launches Sisudiriya

The winner of the first Allianz Sisudiriya scholarship Oshanee Hashinika Gayashani receives the award from Allianz Lanka CEO Surekha Alles.

Allianz Lanka launched Sisudiriya to provide financial assistance to the children of Allianz Life Insurance policyholders who excel at the Grade Five scholarship examination.

Sisudiriya forges a long-term commitment with a payment made monthly to educate the scholarship-holder throughout secondary education, from Grade 5 up to completion of the first attempt at the GCE Advanced Level examination.

The scholarship program was launched to commemorate 125 years of service of the parent company, Allianz SE, a world-renowned financial service provider, celebrated last year. Oshanee Hashinika Gayashani of Sri Dhammananda Maha Vidyalaya, who achieved the highest rank in the Kurunegala district and the second highest marks in the island, was awarded the first-ever Sisudiriya scholarship from among many applicants across the country.

"Sisudiriya is a relationship beyond insurance, in which Allianz Lanka commits to support and further the nation's talent," said Allianz Lanka CEO Surekha Alles. "We are pleased to help educate our bright young people. They are the future of this country."
