Grant Description
In August 2018, the Chinese Embassy made a donation of Rs. 4,889,000 to the Sri Lanka Ministry of Higher Education and Cultural Affairs for continuing the annual Chinese Ambassador Scholarship program.
The program was first launched in 2016 and aims to reward those academically excellent undergraduate students in Sri Lanka universities. The Embassy is now implementing this program for the third consecutive year.
