Ontario Scholarship Fund

Ontario International Development Agency's (OIDA), Ontario Scholarship Fund programs in Sri Lanka is delivering through Sri Lanka - Canada Scholarship Foundation (SLCSF).  SLCSF is a non-profit, volunteer organization registered in British Columbia, Canada, to help the needy Sri Lankan students in their education. The fund has been in operation since 1998. Since then, many students have received financial assistance. These scholarships have been awarded at ceremonies held annually in Sri Lanka, attended by the students, their families and the families of the scholarship sponsors. Currently, 100 students are receiving financial assistance while 172 students have already completed their scholarship period of 2 years.

Just by donating Canadian $15 (or, US$10) a month, you can become the sponsor of a needy Sri Lankan student, who will thank you from his/her heart for helping them to realize their dreams and help their families in turn. While 50 cents a day may not be a big amount for you, it really is a great help for many students in Sri Lanka - and it also gives tremendous satisfaction to you by realizing that you really made a child's dream come true!!

The current focus is on students in Sri Lanka who are studying in grades 12 and 13. The foundation annually selects a number of students (the number depending on the level of contributions received from sponsors) and provides Sri Lankan Rupees 1000 per student per academic month for a total of 18 academic months (approximately two years). Any additional savings resulting from increased Canadian/US dollar exchange rate are used to provide scholarships and study packs for additional students and donating books to libraries in rural schools.
There are no paid staff in the Foundation. All advertising costs and other miscellaneous costs are not paid from the sponsor donations, but are borne by other general donations from supporters of the Foundation.
