12 Sri Lankans will find pursuing a university degree more affordable after the intense session of IQ tests, written tests and interviews held in Colombo, Sri Lanka 30 June to 1 July 2012. Recipients will receive an allowance of 2,500 LKR (USD20) every month.



The selection process also considers the applicant's family income, family size, disability and participation in extra curriculum activities. Applicants with low family income and high family density are more likely to be selected.



The UNI Apro/ JPGU Scholarship Scheme is financially assisted by Japanese Postal Group Union (JPGU) Kanto Branch and is opened to children of affiliates from the Union of Post and Telecommunication Officers (UPTO) and National Post and Telecommunication Workers Union (NPTWU).



“As a Sri Lankan, I am thankful for our Japanese colleagues for arranging the scholarship scheme despite difficult economic conditions in Japan. I am appealing to all the students who will receive the scholarship to make full use of the grant to reach highest scholastic achievements. This is how we can show our appreciation in true spirit of international solidarity,” said Jayasri Priyalal, Chairman of UNI Apro/JPGU Scholarship Scheme in Sri Lanka and Director UNI Apro Finance, Professional & Managers Sector Activities.



The Scholarship awards will be presented to recipients this August in conjunction with the "Symposium of Work Life Management" organised by UNI Sri Lanka Affiliates Council.
