HSBC Sri Lanka’s first ever international student scholarship winner
View(s):Ms. Sharmane Surasinghe (John Hopkins University, USA) has been selected as the winner of the US$10,000 scholarship HSBC Sri Lanka offered in its first ever International Scholarship Programme, to further her education in the US.
The bank last year launched this scheme to support the ambitions of local students by giving one deserving student the opportunity to pursue their higher education with a $10,000 scholarship to a preferred university, anywhere in the world.
A media release from the bank said the scholarship programme was introduced after an extensive research was conducted both locally and overseas. It was established that parents have a shortfall in paying for their children’s overseas education, especially the tuition fees. This was further addressed by parents during several webinars on overseas education which attracted over 2000 participants.
Entries opened from June 2021 received an overwhelming response in applications which were thereafter carefully evaluated and shortlisted by a panel of judges that included Dr. John Scarth – Principal of The British School in Colombo and D.P.C. Lawrence, Executive Deputy Chairman of Colombo International School, together with the senior management of HSBC.
