1. Launch Pad student grant program Flyer and Description
Attention Science alumni and well-wishers!
Many science faculty students are going through grave financial difficulties!
Help them launch their education with a financial grant.
CUFSAA launched the “Launch Pad” student grant program to help science faculty students who are navigating grave economic hardships as they complete their studies.
The recent economic crisis in Sri Lanka has elevated these hardships to unbearable levels. It’s time to help ! You can help!
- Grants are annual, and each is worth US $ 360.
- Thirty-six grants will be given yearly to the Faculty of Science’s most needy special degree students.
- A committee of Faculty of Science Faculty Members representing all academic departments will select the students using criteria agreed by all departments.
- You can either sponsor a specific number of grants or contribute to the grant fund.
- Contributions can be made for various dedications (in memory of loved ones, to students following a specific special degree, or as a gesture from a certain alumni class (Say, class of 1979), and CUFSAA will make every attempt to recognize such dedications.
CUFSAA has committed to providing grants for three years to the Faculty of Science, and the first session of the Launch Pad program will start in June 2024.
