AVIVA NDB Higher Education Scholarship Awards were presented to the Year 5 scholarship winners of 2004 who entered Advanced Level class this year. The Chief Guest at the occasion was Dr. D.B. Nihalsingha, the renowned film director who made the keynote address to motivate and inspire the young students.
AVIVA NDB Insurance grants a higher education scholarship to every student who tops the batch in all 25 districts in the Year 5 scholarship examination. The students start receiving Rs. 2,500 every month when they enter Advanced Level until they complete their university education – each receiving up to Rs. 210,000 depending on the chosen degree.
The Company grants a lump-sum of Rs. 50,000 each to the students who do not enter university. The tie winners who get a lower aggregate at GCE ‘O’ Level and do not qualify to receive the monthly scholarship receive a lump sum of Rs. 40,000.
The number of scholarships offered has grown to 425 with this newest batch to benefit from the higher education scholarship scheme. Managing Director Shah Rouf said: “Awarding the higher education scholarship to students who excel at Year 5 is one of our important Corporate Responsibility endeavours introduced with the objective of encouraging academic excellence among the nation’s most promising children.”
The fund of Rs.10 million set aside for this purpose when the scholarship scheme was launched in 1994 has now grown five-fold through prudent investment.
