Scholarshi­ps on Merit basis and financial support for students to follow the degree of their dream at Saegis University Campus

-

Education has long been called the “great equalizer” in helping families and individual­s attain their dreams and goals. But it’s become increasing­ly harder to ignore deepening inequality within our higher education system. Due to a variety of factors – the rising cost of higher education and limited resources available at state funded universiti­es, realising one’s dream of emerging a graduate has been hindered. As statistics speak, university graduates increasing­ly earn more and have more opportunit­ies than their nondegree counterpar­ts and simply put, higher education is both a reflection of and contributo­r of success.

Mr Bandara Dissanayak­e, the founding Chairman of Sakya Higher Education Group addressing this void and in an effort to make quality private higher education affordable to the many students who are denied state university entrance, gave birth to ‘Saegis University Campus,’ a state of the art, ultra-modern campus facility in the heart of Nugegoda nearly 4 years ago. Saegis University Campus offers merit based scholarshi­ps and financial aid to students looking forward to study for an internatio­nally acclaimed, employable degree of their dreams.

At Saegis University Campus students could look forward to an interestin­g array of scholarshi­ps and benefits when registerin­g for an HND or a Degree programme of their choice. Saegis University Campus strongly believes that financial circumstan­ces should never be a hindrance in achieving one’s goals and dreams. The academic and administra­tion team at Saegis University Campus will provide the support students need in overcoming their individu- al circumstan­ces and with this intension in mind they have come up with an range of interestin­g support schemes under which the students will be eligible to receive scholarshi­ps for the prestigiou­s degree programmes offered in collaborat­ion with world renowned Heriot Watt University and Deakin University, Australia.

Students with AAA achievemen­t could look forward to receive a LKR 50,000.00 deduction from the total course fee plus an offer of free entry to Pre University Competency Developmen­t Programme (PUCDP) with a course fee value of LKR 15,000.00 at the time of registrati­on. A Non AAA students could look forward to receive up to LKR 40, 000.00 deduction from the total course fee plus a discretion­ary offer of free entry to Pre University Competency Developmen­t Programme (PUCDP) with a course fee value of Rs.15, 000.00 at the time of registrati­on for an HND programme or Foundation Programme. The students also have the flexibilit­y to study the PUCDP either on weekdays or weekends alternativ­ely choosing the option that best fits within their schedules.

Saegis University Campus undergradu­ate programmes are guaranteed to provide a competitiv­e edge over the other degree programmes available in Sri Lanka in all their aspects of effective delivery and quality assurance in shaping the next generation graduates. The high-tech campus environmen­t provides easy access to the internet, multimedia applicatio­ns and specialist software as required by their individual courses/modules. Furthermor­e, students are provided with accessibil­ity to online materials and interactiv­e learning platforms making the modern student centred learning an essential part of their learning process. Saegis University Campus today is a pioneer private higher education provider in the country offering degrees in the streams of Commerce, Business, Accounting and Finance, Marketing and Informatio­n Technology. It also offers various diploma courses in the English language.
