For prospective students

Affordability – Scholarships for USA is founded on principles of making US higher education increasingly affordable to stellar Sri Lankan students who may be constrained by economics when planning to attend American universities and colleges. With first hand experience in how exhaustive the long-distance search for a suitable and affordable school can be, Ms. Priyanthi Dissanayake founded Scholarships for USA with the aim of creating an efficient and simple search path for other prospective students and parents.

At present, a diverse range of US colleges and universities partner with Scholarships for USA to gain access to outstanding achievers from across Sri Lanka, offering maximum financial aid to students represented by our organization. Financial aid offered varies according to partnering universities and colleges, and individual students selected. Additional benefits include credit transfers (at times covering up to two academic years), on-campus employment, summer internships and additional performance-based scholarships (benefits vary according to institutions and performance of selected students).

Scholarships for USA only represent affiliated universities and colleges in USA who offer significant financial aid to international students.
