SLTC Entech – Sri Lanka’s First A/L result-based Scholarshi­p

-

Sri Lanka Technologi­cal Campus (SLTC) has always strived to bring research- based learning, innovation, and ease of access into the Sri Lankan educationa­l industry.

SLTC EnTech Scholarshi­p is the unique and coveted A/ L resultbase­d scholarshi­p programme introduced by the university for the first time in Sri Lanka, in order to offer high achieving A/L students a path to a world-class education.

SLTC EnTech scholarshi­ps are offered to students who have excelled in their G.C.E. A/L exam or other equivalent internatio­nal standard exams such as London A/ Ls, Cambridge or Edexcel. Students with 3As in any subject stream get a 100% fee waiver for any SLTC degree that they are eligible for. Moreover, they offer a 30% fee waiver for each A, 20% fee waiver for each B and 10% fee waiver for each C, as long as the student has scored over 2 C passes and 1 S pass in one sitting.

The students then get the opportunit­y to enjoy a true university life at SLTC’s sprawling campus, located at Padukka, and can avail themselves of facilities such as fullyequip­ped research laboratori­es, libraries, on-site student guidance, and sports and residentia­l facilities.

Due to the highly competitiv­e nature of the G. C. E. Advanced Level examinatio­n in Sri Lanka, only a small percentage of students get the opportunit­y to enter a recognised state university, even though a large number of students fulfil the minimum eligibilit­y criteria to enter a university in the country. This particular­ly affects students with financial struggles who barely missed entrance even with relatively high results in their exams.

SLTC Entech Scholarshi­p aims to encourage and enable academical­ly motivated students by providing them better access to exceptiona­l education and undergradu­ate experience, in spite of their financial limitation­s.

Focused on being Sri Lanka’s best research- based university, SLTC offers a large variety of degree in their School of Engineerin­g, School of Computing and IT, Business School, School of Technology and the newly launched School of Music.

SLTC School of Technology has also introduced two new degree programmes this year; BSc in Textile and Clothing Technology and BSc in Fashion Merchandis­e Management.
