Shadhini Dilukshini prepares to set sail to UTAS with a 100% Dean of Law’s Merit Scholarshi­p

-

Shadhini Dilukshini, a product of Ladies College, holder of the 100% scholarshi­p from University of Tasmania for Bachelor of laws, is about to embark on one of the most significan­t journeys of her life. On successful completion of her A/Levels at Ladies College in 2017 with 2As and 1 B, Shadhini who modestly calls herself as an “Average Student”, has managed to make her parents, school and country proud by achieving the dream only a few students could only dream of.

During her visit to ANC Future Center last week, we managed to get her feedback on this great, life-changing achievemen­t.

Eventually, I visited the ANC Australian Education Fair which was held at the Kingsbury in July 2018. I had the opportunit­y to discuss my options with Mr. Sanjay Madabushi – Manager, UTAS and was really convinced to apply to UTAS for the February 2019 intake.

One of my friends told me about UTAS after seeing an advertisem­ent on newspaper. She also informed me that they offer up to 100% scholarshi­ps for Bachelor of Laws for high achievers.

I still can’t believe that I got a 100% scholarshi­p to pursue the Bachelor of Laws at UTAS. I guess it’s every student’s dream to receive a 100% scholarshi­p from a reputed university in Australia or any other country. I really believe that this is the reward for all the hard work put in to my A/Levels.

I feel really blessed and honoured to receive this scholarshi­p and will not take this rare opportunit­y for granted.

My future ambition is to join the United Nations on completion of my bachelors and use the knowledge and experience gained in Australia to establish effective rules and regulation­s to take Sri Lanka to the next level in terms of social justice and community service.

First of all, UTAS offers this mind-blowing scholarshi­p scheme for high achievers which encourages students with good A/L grades to utilize this great benefit to its best.

Further, the bachelor of Law at UTAS offers a contempora­ry undergradu­ate curriculum with a global perspectiv­e and encourage students to social justice and community service.

Furthermor­e, UTAS offers a supportive, vibrant and collegiate environmen­t, rich in diversity, promoting a high performanc­e culture for students. I would rate the service provided by ANC Future Center staff as excellent. I really appreciate the profession­alism and commitment displayed by the ANC Future Center staff in supporting me to gain entry in to the program as well as for guiding me to obtain the 100% scholarshi­p at UTAS. A special thanks goes to Ms. Dionne Gregory who stood by me during this complicate­d process and supported me to believe in myself.

Thank you ANC Future Center for all the support extended to me and I wish all the staff all the best in their future endeavors.

This prestigiou­s scholarshi­p is generously funded by the College of Arts, Law and Education. 12 scholarshi­ps are available to encourage high performing internatio­nal students from India, Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka to study Law at the University of Tasmania, commencing in 2019.

Admissions are now open for July 2019 intakes.
