The Initiative


The Esufally Education Scholarship Trust was established in 2006 with the intention of providing young people, who would otherwise not have had the opportunity, a chance to pursue their interest in higher education. Each year a limited number of students are offered a scholarship or grant to study either in Sri Lanka or abroad. Students who received these scholarships have obtained degrees in diverse fields including medicine, engineering, accountancy, biotechnology, physiotherapy and political studies.
