30 happy students achieved their dreams this year – flying across the continent to continue their higher studies in U.S and Canada. Despite all odds, these youngsters were determined to make their dreams come true. It was a dream envisioned as far back as 2019 when they first enrolled at ANC in the 2+2 U.S & Canada University Transfer programme right after their O/ Levels & A/Levels.

In the words of Ms. Manouri Malalage, Head of US & Canada Transfer Unit at ANC;

“30 babies flew off ‘my nest’ today.

Amidst two lockdowns, health concerns, embassy closures, vaccinatio­ns, dollar restrictio­ns and all sorts of challenges, these kids had it real tough, but they rose to the challenge like heroes.

They started the fall 2021 semester this week at their transfer universiti­es - a new chapter in their lives. I am very proud of them. I hope they learnt life through this pandemic, and I am sure they will brave it all and bring honor to their country, families and to themselves!”

The 30 happy students transferre­d to some of the top universiti­es in U.S and Canada that include University of Arizona, State University of New York at Buffalo, Georgia State University, North Texas University, University of Toledo, Northern Arizona University, York University, Thompson River University, Acadia University, Algoma University, Brock University, Wichita State University, Cedarville University, St.

Mary’s University, Memorial University and many more.

These transfer students will be graduating from their chosen universiti­es in year 2024.

ANC students that flew to US & Canada in 2021 had this to say:

Sulakshan Fernando from Acadia University in Canada:

“A lot of students have a dream to come to a foreign country for studies. I was a person who didn’t have hope to ever come to Canada because of my Visa refusal to Canada when I applied after my A/levels. However, after joining ANC everything fell into place. ANC taught me that if you do your studies well, get your grades and credit hours with the guidance of ANC team, no matter what you will be on the right track to achieve your dreams.

The University transfer process was a smooth one because we planned according to the deadlines. ANC ensured I got full admission into Acadia University in Canada – a partner university of ANC, I received an unconditio­nal offer letter from the university.

Now for almost 1 month I’ve been living in Nova Scotia, Canada, where my University is located. Its surrounded by valleys and beaches, a breathtaki­ng view. All my classes are fully in person classes and I am having the best time. I am so Thankful to ANC and my parents for making my dream to study in Canada a reality.”

Hirundith Costa from St. Mary’s University in Canada

“It’s a big dream come true for me. Myself and my friend are the first two students from ANC to transfer to St. Mary’s University in Canada. I was able to transfer 57 credits out of 60 credits even though the university is not affiliated with

ANC. Its’ a big university, with a well-recognized business program where I am majoring in Finance. At 18 years of age, it feels great to be a 3rd year student when other students my age are still in their first year of University.

Joining ANC right after my O/Levels with pending results was the best decision I took in my life. The ANC 2+2 Canadian University Transfer programme is an excellent pathway to become a graduate at a young age.

Going to study in a foreign country is a big decision. My advice is don’t think too much about which city to go to, rather think about your future goals and plans that you wish to achieve. Every city in US & Canada are equally great. My university is located in Halifax, Canada and it is an amazing place.”

In the words of Mrs. Mahika Chandrasen­a the parent of ANC Student Daniel Bartholome­usz:

“Thank you to ANC University Transfer team for all your guidance during the entire transfer process and a special thanks to Manouri. We could not be more appreciati­ve of a very profession­al and personally enjoyable experience.

As parents we saw a great sense of confidence, and enthusiasm when Daniel started his year at ANC and entrusting his university search to the wonderful year at ANC, he definitely rose to the occasion and worked diligently for all his courses and found his right university fit, all thanks to your expert lecturers and their mentoring. Daniel transition­ed extremely well into Cedarville University in Ohio in U.S.A - the perfect mix of traditiona­l, individual­ized and self-directed curriculum in a perfect location! Thank you and stay blessed ANC!”

ANC Education has always been on track in fulfilling the educationa­l aspiration­s of our students. Even during the ongoing pandemic our students’ education and career goals continued to become a reality.

Students can apply for the October 2021 intake at ANC and transfer to US or Canada in 2022/2023.
